christmas day and dinner at our house

the cooks (me and marissa) are up early and cooking in our pj's...

i started cooking the day before but still had a lot to do before the guest arrived.

what a mess!!!


breakfast, home made egg mc muffin, hash browns and hot chocolate... yum



already the afternoon and still cooking!!!

rice crispy treats for our give away treat!!!

(they were not so good, sorry family)

this is the only photo we have of all the food we made. it usually gets so crazy trying to get all the food ready that as usual we forgot to take a photo of the dinner. it was pretty good. prime rib, scalloped potatoes, sweet potatoes, lasagna and rolls. didn't have time to make any vegetables but figured no one would eat them any way!!!! at least that's what i told myself...

uncle richard, auntie nancy, daisy and auntie elsie

mom, katie and todd

alex, marissa, jr and brian

daisy holding the newest member of our family, Kalvin... so cute

well, we hope everyone had a good christmas... it was great to get together with the family and look forward to improving our dinner next year!!! our craziness didn't stop here a week later we had a big adventure at Walt Disney World
