And just like that it is Christmas time. I try to slow down these few days surrounding the holiday and take it all in as once it is over we settle into the long months of winter.
Here's the plan for the coming week:
Friday - Lasagna (homemade!), Salad and Garlic Bread
Saturday - It is Christmas Eve! Our tradition now is to go to my mom's on Christmas Eve and she hosts us beautifully. It is so peaceful and warm and Christmasy. It is one of my favorite nights of the year.
Sunday - Christmas Day! Our tradition is that my mom comes to our house (it is sure nice to have her 10 minutes away) for Christmas Breakfast and Christmas Dinner. Our breakfast is Ham and Cheese Quiche, Sausage Balls, Cinnamon Rolls, Fruit Salad, and Orange Julius. Then for dinner the current plan is Stuffed Pork Tenderloin, Homemade Mac and Cheese, Sweet Potato Casserole, Ceasar Salad, Holiday Jell-O, and Roasted Green Beans. Plus some desserts of course!
Monday - There "should" be leftovers for dinner tonight.
Tuesday - Waffles and Sausage
Wednesday - Turkey Nachos and Salad
Thursday - Hamburger Stroganoff, Noodles, and green beans.
