Merry Christmas Eve


The stockings are hung by the chimney with care.....
Christmas is here...can you believe it?
I have been buzzing around here baking and slapping hands out of the treats meant for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Our tradition since Troy and I were engaged is to spend Christmas Eve with the Henderson gang (my family) and Christmas Day with the Thames. Everyone lives within 45 minutes to 1 1/2 hours driving distance so it just works. This year we host both families and are excited to get this sleigh rolling.

I've taken a few pics....
Merry Christmas!



















I tried some of Pioneer Woman's appetizers...Club crackers with a sprinkle of either Parmesan cheese or brown sugar, wrapped in bacon and baked at 200* for 2 hours....I'll let you know about these....




One of my favorites....Turtles...caramel, pecans, covered in chocolate..
sinful!!! but oh so good!!!!




And, can't leave out Troy's favorite...cheesecake with strawberry puree....


Today we are having fajitas, tamales with chili, Pappasita's bean soup, Paula Dean's spanish rice, and all the fixin's.
Tomorrow will be our traditional Ham, Turkey, dressing, squash casserole, green bean bundles etc....

The Thames family wishes you a wonderful Christmas remembering our Lord and Savior as the reason for the awesome season. May you be blessed this day!
