Christmas was so good this year!
Christmas eve we always spend at Joe’s Grandma’s house. We have a nice dinner with aunts, uncles, cousins, etc. The kids love going there!
Christmas morning Santa has come and all of the presents are stacked under the tree.
I just love our tree- the colored lights remind me so much of when I was a kid, it’s so fun to see all of my kids artwork too.
After we exchanged just us 4 Christmas morning, my family came over to enjoy some food and gifts. We had quite the spread!
Smoked bacon wrapped scallops & shrimp—hubby does them so good!
Standard Cranberry muffins from the box, paying tribute to my grams.
My friend Amie recommended this simple (and amazing) appetizer! It was Tieghan Gerard’s 3 Ingredient Blue Cheese Bites. Even my sis who hates blue cheese said they were good! *warning, you’ll want to eat the entire thing yourself.
My step mom brought this delightful fruit, cream cheese & croissant bake! It was the perfect mix of sweet and decadent.
These were the biggest hit with –including the kids!! It calls for a bourbon but I just used maple syrup… Maple Sausage Crescent Rolls
One of the coolest (thoughtful) gifts was from my sister Bri! She saw me tag Joe on Facebook about this bubbly. She totally got it for us! We are hoping to sip it during the Super Bowl Win! #goniners
My sister and I.
I won a pair of these fun jammies from my girl Katie at Thrifty Cactus, aren’t they adorable?!
Last minute decision to spoil the stinky big dog Bailey…
The aftermath…
Little man and mama played some Nintendo in the basement.
It always goes by so quick, but I do enjoy the memories!
