Recap of the holiday...


We had another fabulous holiday - here is a quick recap of our Christmas day:


Mom, John and I had a Christmas Casserole and muffins for breakfast ... and a little "hot toddy"!


I made a huge pitcher of Peach/White Cranberry Sangria for the signature drink of the day!...


...and we nibbled on snacks....


...there were shenanigans....


...and Skypes...


...and a delish dinner...





...with "crackers" filled with crowns and toys...


...my favorite spaghetti squash - recipe at end of post...


...and a new "Bubble Bread" recipe that was a hit....


...there were plenty of desserts, cookies, cheesecake...



...Mom spent the day...


...and Carter joined us after dinner!


The decorations are coming down and we are anxiously awaiting the new year and the arrival of our 3rd grandson - Catie and Pedro's first child!



Happy New Year!

  4. I love how you celebrated in the absence of your girls, Patti. I didn't realize Carter came to visit - what a great way to enlist a helper to take down Christmas! Glad to see your mom doing well, all things considered. And your menu really looked fabulous, not to mention the drinks, snacks and desserts. Happy New Year, Patti!

  9. Wow, roll me away from the table and give me a soft blanket and I don't know when I would wake up! What fun feasting all day long. Everything looks amazing. Isn't modern technology amazing to be able to keep in touch with each other. Looks like you had a wonderful day!
