I had a wonderful Holiday with my family this year. The day started with brunch at my sister-in-law, Holly's. Biscuits and gravy and cinnamon rolls... yum! Then much to the relief of my children, it was time to open gifts!
Aidan: So excited for his new Cars bed set.
Lily: Loved her Tinkerbell bedding so much she made me open it up and make her a bed on the floor!
My Grandpa Smith was with us, time we always cherish!
This was our first Christmas together so it was very special.
After opening presents, the kids were worn out so Mom took them over to her house for a nap while Holly and I worked on our dishes for Christmas dinner. (As a side note- If you are using an industrial Kitchen Aid mixer to make your cream cheese frosting for the red velvet cake, you need to keep two things in mind. 1. It is a strong mixer, so don't turn it up all the way to level 8. 2. If you do this and the guard is not attached, you WILL look like you got into a fight with the abominable snowman.)
Dinner at Mom's was delicious as always, and then some of our extended family (the Dowdy's) and friends of the family joined us to go on a hay ride and carol for the neighbors. It was a wonderful day full of family, laughter and love- the greatest gift I could have asked for!
