Christmas Recap

Hello everyone! Before 2011 gets here I wanted to give you a quick recap of our busy, but wonderful Christmas weekend! It started on Christmas Eve. Kyle and I went down to my sister, Wendi’s house. We spent all afternoon doing our Christmas baking, including oreo balls, peanut butter ritz crackers dipped in almond bark, chocolate star cookies, and puppy chow!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEhsFmXAq-j4MAWaK3PFRRA02zb_rjuLSra2t3asefiSm1aUExhT4SY_55f0M4bCX4J-sIul5LRYt2ZB9ypGOqlPwdKznkKLiYkO33AtdIuukp5lvWzJysLApSjIZZB-nE__6J-PZR5sRe/s1600-h/DSC09593%5B4%5D.jpg"><img alt="DSC09593" border="0" height="303" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrQnwQYjtT6fjWiohWii2nw3klbUqsS3572d04-24w6saZDcAjzcg_kZniG5E6hCeW2AQleK89qZrFqrHWXx771y8w6Mo-FQpp7KU2PdXqKH7zamT1VwnjSb06QMcO0-BGeEgv-x1dc8TD/?imgmax=800" style="border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-left: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-bottom: 0px" title="DSC09593" width="404"></a> In the midst of all that we got he house ready for extended family Christmas that night! <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj61coAqRx0PMSyZr_yCcfwOI-X2OghTMHI6xA21mQOPfZgAWejlpdcgRhRii3xaDrKXG1GS3ufY7fsZsSKkQhM7BJ9glmPznISiCaSWcSGdCul7RuB3Me9PPqseA7X56DwTSmJ2EvuQQYl/s1600-h/DSC09578%5B4%5D.jpg"><img alt="DSC09578" border="0" height="303" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXr0iq8jA_rw-317byWbKbzFWefP4VDSAaPQD4J0A32uTq5ZFBrG0ZNnrlBYUHmmxWRf98NSxrpEy3HcubnTvA-K8cHVuL35dR95En1dxp6MZOV7VxqrgcYNh3kCGQSt-GNFxoHL4_mh4w/?imgmax=800" style="border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-left: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-bottom: 0px" title="DSC09578" width="404"></a> And what else do you do at Christmas family gatherings, but eat!!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEil961m7SBzYYr8c2HE9-mj1_jf-Uw13JH_o674WlTcqEbImhdpUYIFIk4HxUpG1sX9PG5iLP0vzts_8tIwkfNKZ5E2Jgmgw_oEf1Abo95dSiAQJDQFVGpHXaIGaI2yB_beP8YiU-v3x3-6/s1600-h/DSC09580%5B4%5D.jpg"><img alt="DSC09580" border="0" height="303" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGEfsfTg9lLr8iuiaogNb2LRr8LRHL0gvuWwceTxxCWuo1pwb-UjTz0azsBZI8ufuUI2w1b2gsA16gZKCAVlzgqmA6MalmLl-37zO_Yh9pCkeUx-IsqOB4V_f6q89Y4rDGpweLbg1GwMzg/?imgmax=800" style="border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-left: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-bottom: 0px" title="DSC09580" width="404"></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjytv3HfC0RNc4FaSL0K9Rj8455Ms56UiQ9a1n5OvvU2s8T7_TdvSkT2_iii_OgzX0ivepHnGxRQy2WRfHEYpMwUcON88AI_9VLH-K8khy__ogvef17J-r7hc_zsFjMKPCVL5LwnuN1e3fN/s1600-h/DSC09581%5B4%5D.jpg"><img alt="DSC09581" border="0" height="303" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEii7UIAmlZF6jZqSKGBtK2LFdQGCdVs_wmUo3i1H-iXkBgK8ziYRkUzoCXQEZcCWVqzxR8BfjBCq4cklrVJTaN3k-5PPQmfVreiwdAXhlNkuqWWOVHtco7R7rg8mHG_kTnqsgaQb35_bAAn/?imgmax=800" style="border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-left: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-bottom: 0px" title="DSC09581" width="404"></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRchQaY8khqb16wCN1TfvUikCc6m1ikJU_WaJgIb3WS5ZK316kfqKYt5Rea89f5L0nk0U96n0roTFOHGsBDKqkqs4pDvqf9n7NIXU3ME98Bb-QylpKQu0GeOLO_cLxmwktd3NTfnQ_MLJG/s1600-h/DSC09583%5B4%5D.jpg"><img alt="DSC09583" border="0" height="303" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipf6VNkPOsJR-ZenJjqWVx33adFt_LrlCp2DZv6t1tVExOmumWmKghYdeXY32idu7OuClf7DzHZq9ieOAEPIn6yGPHON86qH3AzQCAqR4i7yjlrxYXxSzjUMDpLBRbrA7isx8-LBq-TQ1W/?imgmax=800" style="border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-left: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-bottom: 0px" title="DSC09583" width="404"></a> A delicious Christmas dinner: ham balls, deviled eggs, cheesy potatoes, strawberry pretzel salad, green bean casserole, and scalloped corn!
