The centerpiece for our Christmas brunch.
I was going for a “simple” and traditional vibe.
What do ya think? I think I was quite successful!
Christmas Eve Dinner - Homemade Bean Chili, mozzarella, & Triscuits for crunch
Our “new tradition” of a Christmas brunch seemed to go well. We also made pancakes and had a cinnamon creme cake from The Corner Bakery (given to our family as a gift). Maybe we’ll try the whole “brunch thing” again next year.
Egg Muffin Quiche, Salsa, Whole Wheat English Muffin with Whipped Butter, Fresh Fruit Salad
Enjoy this wonderful day with the ones you hold dear! Even if you can’t all be together thank God that He placed each and every one of them in your life. You can never be too grateful for the many blessings God has given you!

- Finish table runner – I’m finally on the last step
- Spend time with Grandma – her flight gets in this morning!
- Shopping for the rest of the supplies for Andrew’s grad party and working on the decor with Ms. Deb
- Hair Trim
- Phantom of the Opera watching party with Chels to get ideas for the guard show we are co-writing
- Curling up with a book – rainy weekend
