The Most Wonderful Time of the Year.

Merry Christmas!!

This has been the greatest Christmas for me. 

Mom flew down and spent the week with Craig, Chino and I.

We made the Crockpot Christmas Breakfast for Christmas morning found here.

I highly recommend this recipe! It took about 6 hours in my crockpot and was so cheesy and delicious and we still have some leftovers. The leftovers are just as good.

We spent Christmas dinner with Craig's family where we had ham and all the fixings that everyone usually brings (except for me thanks to a non-functioning oven). I stopped at the store and bought a cheese ball which I should have made myself because I was not impressed >:(

Our traditional tree ornament.

Smile Chino.

Getting dinner together.

Present time.

I can still hear her screaming "BOOTS".

Excuse my blurriness, I'm still getting used to the new 50mm Craig got me for Christmas <3

My Chino sweater Mom got for me for one of my gifts.

We spent the 28th at Dad and Susan's house with the Travis family.

 Grammy's guacamole. Craig doesn't like guac but somehow TORE this dip up.

(Grams is the best cook)

Macy's fish dip. Probably the best in Florida.

Look at this beautiful woman.

Dad likes his Christmas gift :)

Dad asks if anyone wants a burger without cheese. Let's get real dad. 

Happy New Year.

Thanks for Giving.

Happy belated Thanksgiving friends. 

We celebrated on Sunday this year because of everyone in the family being so busy.

I actually enjoyed this because we got to go to a few people's houses and grub on Thursday, then by the time Sunday rolled around, I was ready for Thanksgiving again!

Chino was excited his momma was making some baked goods with his favorite, marshmallows.

Doesn't Craig look thrilled? The Dolphins were playing and we were ACTUALLY winning. 

The cute sign Brenda had on the fridge.

Brenda's amazing ham, turkey and my sweet potato casserole. 

Not because I was the one following the recipe, but this was the best sweet potato casserole I've ever tasted. I usually try breaking down recipes and making them healthier, but I figured hey, it's the holidays.. load up on the butter and brown sugar.

Get the recipe here.

I wish I got more shots of the food but everyone dug in seconds after I got this shot.I was in charge of deviled eggs, sweet potato casserole and pecan pie. Brenda had the ham and turkey. Sam brought the sweets. Sarah is always in charge of the cheesy potatoes and Joyce had the green bean casserole and corn bread casserole.

Now we've finally gotten our tree. Time to decorate! Happy Holidays everyone!
