Just Stopping In......

Hi Blogger Friends!
I trust each of you all had a wonderful Christmas!
We had a really good one.
A wonderful time with family, friends and neighbors.

Christmas Eve was shared with my DH's parents in their home.
Granny fixed a wonderful spread as always.
She's such a wonderful cook!
We had pork tenderloin with dressing, chicken with rice, broccoli and cauliflower with cheese sauce, baby lima beans, homemade yeast rolls ( so yummy!!!) and we brought mashed potatoes, and homemade sausage/cheddar balls.
Dessert was lemon cake, coconut cream pie, no bake fruit cake and my DD & DS made homemade oatmeal chocolate chip cookies.....

Christmas morning we had the table set for eleven....
DH's parents joined us four, along with five of our closest friends which are also our neighbors.
We had sausage, bacon, lil' smokies, biscuits, homemade milk gravy, scrambeled eggs, baby tater wedges and pancakes with real maple syrup from PA!!
The kids' and our neighbor's daughter played Guitar Hero and had a blast, the rest of us spent the time with lots of chatting and laughing!
It was a really fun morning!

Later that evening we went to my family's Christmas get together.
We had it at my sister's home this year.
She lives right next door to our parents.
My brother was not feeling well and went home early.....before we even arrived.
He wasn't able to have his two youngest children visit with us on Christmas either.......
I think there were still thirteen of us in my sister's cute lil' home!
Anyhow....we had a good evening.... and way too much food!
We did Mexican, but there was ham and fixins' for sandwiches, I did a pan of chicken enchiladas
and one of beef enchiladas......lots of taco fixins', my sis's yummy layered Picante Dip, and more.
There were all kinds of cookies, candies, Chex mix, and my Daddy made his traditional Jam Cake with Caramel icing....it was really good!
His friend from CT. sent him a Raspberry Pecan Cheesecake!
It was scrumptious!!!

All- in- all, I believe it was a great Christmas!
I was so tired out from it all though....slept a couple of hours in the recliner lastnight....I could not stay awake! Even though I tried to watch t.v. with DH.....I just kept noddin'! zzzzzzzzz!!!
Then I went to bed a few minutes before 10:00 and slept soundly until 8:05 this morning!!
Guess I was more worn out than I thought!!
Hope all is well with everyone and that you all had a blessed Christmas and have a
wonderfully happy & healthy New Year!

Hugs!
