Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas!!! I hope you all have a lovely holiday celebration with your family, friends, and loved ones. We’re enjoying the day here at home with my mom and brother, and then it’s off to Albany to celebrate with B’s family.

In the meantime, I’ll leave you with pictures from our Christmas Eve dinner – our first ever holiday dinner. As always, I underestimated how long it would take to prepare and cook everything, so I felt exhausted by the end (just as my future mother-in-law predicted) despite the fact that everyone was helping. We were making some other food for the week though, plus everything was from scratch, so that added to the time. It was very yummy though!

Shrimp cocktail with homemade sauce (from homemade ketchup!)

Baked Brie with toasted pita points and a very yummy spread of toasted pecans, pears, and Moroccan spices.

Salad with a topping of roasted mushrooms, roasted pecans, feta, and onions. Wow!!

Baked Ham - first one ever!
