Christmas was lovely - as always. I do love Christmas carols and the cookies we bake for everyone. It's always good for us to get our eyes off ourselves and look to others' needs.
My parents spent Christmas day with my sister and her husband, while Tim's parents came to church with us Christmas Eve, then home to our house for our traditional "German" spread (cold cuts and rolls), and then presents!

The next morning we opened stockings, had cinnamon rolls, pomegranate, pineapple, and bacon. Cleaned up from that and started making lunch - beef tenderloin, twice-baked potatoes, Caesar salad, and shrimp. Then, I officially closed the kitchen! There were PLENTY of leftovers and I was TIRED!

Oh, and I found some pictures. Not all of them, but a few. <whew>
