Christmas Day

I always loved Christmas growing up.  It was so much fun having everyone together and opening presents.  I used to help my mom wrap the gifts and decorate the house.  I have always wanted for my children (well child right now) to have that same experience.  I think we are on the right track so far.  There is something about Christmas that gets that much better when you have kids.

Jim and Patsy came to spend the day with us this year.  They arrived shortly before Katelyn woke up so they were there when she came down to see all of Santa's gifts.  A bit overwhelmed at first, she quickly caught on. 

After present opening, it was time to get the cooking started!  I wanted to try a new dessert, Creamy Lemon Squares.  Katelyn wanted to help, so she inspected the lemons!

Next up...the BEEF!  Prime Rib to be exact.  To go along with Prime Rib, we had garlic mashed taters, peas with proscuitto, asparagus, and rolls.  It was yummy!

While dinner was cooking, we enjoyed some play time!

After dinner, it was time for bed for Katelyn and time for Jim & Patsy to head home.  It was a fantastic Christmas!
