Our Christmas Gathering

We had a small little group for Christmas Eve dinner, but we had a simple feast complete with lots of fun, laughter and presents after. I literally kept things very simple this year. I made a turkey with gravy, mashed potatoes, macaroni and cheese, rolls and asparagus, with some cookies and a Black Forest cake for dessert. Black Forest Cake None of my menu items are new to you, but sometimes, you just have to stick with the basics and keep it simple (K.I.S.S). Lauren made some delicious lamb that we added to our feast as well. Though it was a simple meal, we had all that matters – a lot of LOVE and good cheer, and of course, plenty of food. We kept waiting for the second shift to come in and help us, but they never showed. I guess that means there will be a few few leftovers. Oh darn! :)

I hope you all enjoyed your Christmas festivities. Happy New Year to one and to all. Stay safe and stay well. ’Til next time.

      1. It was fun! I had a great time even in Palm Springs! Nice and warm! I went on hike for 2 days straight and it’s great adventure for me but man I’m sore after that!
