Celebrating the Holiday Season

Our Christmas and New Years was spent quietly at home, enjoying good food and each other's company! I hope you all had a nice season over the break as well .

I made my first cinnamon raisin swirl sourdough loaf for the boys to enjoy for breakfast while they were home from school. It was a big hit!

For Christmas morning first thing of course we had to open presents! The boys got a good variety and even a few gifts from family out of state. They also dug into the candy from their stockings a bit before we sat down for our traditional breakfast.

I tried a new recipe for cowboy biscuits that turned out perfect, plus some homemade sausage gravy. So good!

Our dinner was simple, we do Mexican food for our Christmas. Nick requested shredded fiesta chicken tacos so I made that plus guacamole. Yum!

The rest of break at home was spent mostly in our PJs and relaxing. We did have some warm weather one weekend so we actually went to the park with Jacob while Brad rode his bike! We got snow just in time for Christmas. 

For NYE we always have an assortment of snacks and finger foods while the boys sip bubbly cider and we watch a family movie.

After eating, the boys played together upstairs while we watched some shows, then at midnight we all watched the ball drop in Times Square together. Then off to bed!

Now it's a fresh start of a new year, and I can't wait to see what this one will hold for us .
