Christmas Day 2018

Christmas Day 2018 dawned cold with a little snow.

Cooking and opening presents were the main agenda for the morning.

Belle and Jack. :)

Max I guess was guarding the presents. LOL!

Summer's Hatchimal had the attention for awhile!

Me, my sister and my oldest, Addie

Ahh...Christmas dinner! Of course, Rachel and I did all the cooking and I just wished it lasted longer. LOL!

We had ham (best one yet!), mashed potatoes with noodle gravy, mac and cheese, green beans with bacon and dinner rolls.

We also had a lot of snack/appetizers...pickle and beef rolls, peppercini and salami rolls, cream cheese with hot pepper jelly served with crackers, a summer sausage, cheese and olive tray, shrimp cocktail and deviled eggs. Which we forgot to even set out for dinner!!!

My brother in law and father in law came for dinner. We had pecan, blueberry and cherry pies for dessert made by my sister!

After a lot of cleaning up, we played some games and watched a movie.

Another Christmas of memories!

Happy 45th Birthday, Eric!

Happy birthday to my husband, Eric! He turns 45 today. I am surprising him with tickets to a Miami Dolphins game in Miami. I got him tickets one other time years ago when we lived in Reno. We drove to Oakland to see the Dolphins play the Raiders. I think this will be a great memory for him and a home game too! Happy birthday, babe!

Recipe: Chicken Parmesan

(I cut the chicken breasts in half to make thinner.). Season with salt and pepper. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and garlic salt until combined. In another bowl, combine the crackers and 1/2 cup of the Parmesan. Dredgs each chicken breast in the egg mixture, then in the cracker mixture, and set the chicken aside on a plate.
