Did You All Enjoy Your Christmas?

I have to admit Diana....you make snow sound fun. Then I step outside and my reality hits me smack in the face....LOLOL. I guess I don't mind snow if I can just watch out the window. Maybe I'm just getting too old.....nah!!!!

We had a wonderful Christmas! We had four get togethers. The last one was yesterday with my sons. Everyone had a really good time. They brought their Wii game and they all played Rock Star!! I just sat back and videoed and took pics! I am so glad that everyone had such a good time with their families.

We have another party tonight with Glen's family (The Baker side!!). It's at my BIL's house and it's just around the corner from us so we don't have to drive far!! It will be a good time with LOTS of family there!!!

Glen's Mom is in the hospital in Nebraska where his sister, Brenda, lives so they won't be there. His Mom's not doing very well so we'll probably end up going to visit her soon. She's been going down hill for some time now. I'm not sure that she can live alone much longer so the family's going to have to make some decisions soon but I've thought that for some time......so we'll just have to see what happens.

We have another party on Saturday with my family. My brother and his family will be here with my Mom and Step-Dad along with my own family. We don't exchange gifts but Mom buys for the kids. Mom's wanting to order PIZZA!!! I think that's so funny!!! We'll see.......it will cost a lot to do that but would be sooooo easy!!!! My brother's family never brings anything to help out food-wise......it seems like it's all they can do to just get here!!!!! Oh well.......I'm complaining and I shouldn't be.

We had a great day

We went to my husbands grandmothers for dinner and to exchange gifts. Of course, my mother in law wasn't present because she still has a hair across her butt.
I contributed home made mac and cheese, green bean casserole, chocolate chip walnut cookies and an apple streusel cheesecake (I was up baking all night the night before because hubbys aunt invited us over and we stayed later than I'd expected!)
Then we were off to my parents where my youngest sister and her kids were to exchange gifts there too... then we went out to the bar with two of my in laws where it was buy one get one drink night and I got a leeeeeeeeettle tipsy on 6 very strong margaritas
It was really neat because Brad saw a guy he went to high school with and hadn't seen in about 7 years.

I'm glad everyone had such lovely days with loved ones! Here's to the New Year!
What are everyones plans for News Years Eve? We should be going to my father in laws, probably bring Christmas gifts. They have a big celebration, Turkish people are so much fun

to all... I have not been on much and read some of the posts.. So happy everyone had a wonderful Christmas.. I hope everyone is safe back at home..

I spent the Eve at my brothers house we had the traditional italian dinner, which consists of eating fish made different ways. This year my SIL made mosty shrimps, for it gets to be too much. She made fish sauce, fried calamari, shrimp scampi. and we had plenty of desserts. It was nice she had a few of her grandkids over and then around 11:30 we went to my cousins house for more desserts and stood until about 1:30 very nice evening..

Christmas morning we opened our presents and went to my BIL for dinner it was quiet there just my family and his. His teenage daughters have that Rock band and as I mentioned earlier I played the drums lol kept up with the beat.. lol

During the week I had baked some cookies and have been eating non stop.. lol Now to get ready for NYE.. I will bake some more. lol

Italian would be interesting to have for Christmas!! I bet that it was really good!! We just cook mostly southern types of food. It sounds like you had a good time, Gina!!

That sounds like wonderful food for Christmas. Rick, Ricky and I usually stay home now so no big meal is served. All we had this time was a pork loin in the slow cooker. We just made sandwiches out of it.

Now for New Year's we will be having our traditional seafood. Can't wait!!!

Seafood sounds really good Janet! It will just be hubby and myself for New Year's. What kinds of seafood do you have? And do you happen to have a recipe for cheese garlic biscuits? Do you have those with your seafood dinner? I would love to go to Red Lobster right now!! I've just made myself hungry lol!!
