Christmas in Belgium

It's Christmas day and my sister and I are still in our PJ's drinking wine and watching Chrsitmas movies with the rest of the family. Yesterday Ty made Christmas cookies and I helped Lil C decorate them with colored sparkles.
Ron and I also taught Lil C how to play Go Fish. At first Ron and I couldn't remember how to play, so we just made up the rules as we went along. It's been awhile, what can I say?


We had a fabulous dinner with each of us making our specialty plate. Ty made a artichoke/crab dip, I made my procuitto pasta, Ron made asparagus with pancetta, and Steve made pork loin with apple sauce. Cooking with friends and family makes any occasion so festive and special.

After Ty and I read "Twas the Night Before Christmas" to Lil C, we set out all the beatifully wrapped gifts under the tree and were up until 2:30 am chatting away. After we opened gifts, we ate maple sausages and pumkin and cinnamon/walnut waffles made from scratch and watched White Christmas with Bing Crosby. I really do like old movies, but I forgot how slow they can be!!! We all passed out sleeping in the middle of the movie. Now we are about to eat dinner and later we're going to play Family Fued. Ty still won't let me get out of my PJs. Talk about sister peer pressure. Anyhow, Merry Christmas everyone where ever you are!!
