morning everyone
it sounds like everyone had a great "Fa la la la la" lol pattie this is the last time I will be fal la la la laing !!!
I think the kitchen theme was a popular one this year "santa" brought me some really neat things for the kitchen, you know those type of things you really want but won't buy for yourself
it was a busy busy day but a terrific one !!! wow I don't think I have used that word in conjunction with xmas with my family in a long time !! ooo lol 20 years
I have a feeling that with as much fun as we had at my sisters that there will be a new "tradition" in where we spend xmas
My twice baked stuffed taters turned out really good !! I never realized the difference using cream instead of milk makes lol I guess the 2 sticks of butter and bacon bits and cheddar cheese added a bit of yum too
We left here around 11:30 stopped at Chaos's house to give his Dad his present, Hubby had made him a "treasure box" that he made out of birdseye maple & wenge he loved it !!! especially when he found out it was a one of a kind with the exotic wood he was already tryign to figure out what he was going to kep in it.
We also gave him some of MILs rum balls lol I told him " these will put a jingle in your bells"
Chaos was running around with the presents that I put in his stocking lol his dad said he hadn't stopped since he gave them to him
I was really touched when he gave us a very generous Giftcard to the Capitol Grill, this place is fancier that Ruth Chris so I am really looking forward to dressing up one night and enjoying one of their steaks
We then headed to my sisters where we opened our ornaments which was also decided was so much fun we will be doing that again
Dinner was great I am not usually a big fan of prime rib but this one was so good I had 2 pieces !!
Zipped over to MIL to do xmas with her then came home fed and let the dogs out then headed over to our Sunday breakfast buddies open house
came home and collapsed
lol now you know why I never made it back on line yesterday !!!
The only thing that would of made it even better was if I could of had each and everyone of you there with us !!!!!
ok let me go start todays thread I will post a picture there of the surprise that hubby made me in the workshop
