Christmas re-cap

It was another grand holiday for us! we have so much to be grateful for at this time! Some highlights of our Christmas include...

-The Taylor Family party at our home on the 19th. We had games, did crafts, frosted cookies, and had wonderful food in true Taylor form.
-Sledding with the Johnsons and enjoying home made Tepanyaki for Gary's birthday.
-"Annie didn't know Joe" a story inspired by a special visit from Santa.
-The best gift ever from Ryan and Jes. Thanks for such a meaningful gift!
-Christmas Eve at Grandma Mae's House. Mom did an amazing job pulling this one off... A long standing tradition that is always wonderful. Once again, great food and company. Lydia loved her gift from Grandma.
-Christmas morning and omelets and Grandma Taylor's house. Ryan and Nellie did a great job taking over the omelet station. Dad was terribly missed, of course.
-Tons of down time with Gary and Lydia. Movies watched include: In Her Shoes (one of my all time favorites), and Kit Kitteredge, American Girl (sp?) LOVED this one, thanks for the recommendation, mom. (Gary even watched and enjoyed both of these)

Take note of the common them here: FOOD, and way too much of it. But please do see my recipe blog in the days to come for some great new recipes I had a chance to try this year.

Hope you all had a wonderful holiday!
