We were shut in for the holidays this year because of the new baby. I missed all the holiday socializing and especially our family parties, but this was a good excuse to create some new Christmas traditions. My two favorites were; acting out characters from the Christmas story with charades (this was Porter's idea), and Dave fixing Christmas dinner.
Dave went all out for Christmas dinner. He started by looking through my cookbooks and online to create his menu. He then made a shopping list and went to the store (he even used coupons!). Next he typed up a cooking schedule with all of the recipes and when he needed to start prepping and cooking each one (very engineer like). He then invited my parents and sister to come and enjoy the meal with us. Everything turned out DELICIOUS and we had lots of yummy leftovers. Dave enjoyed it and said he will do it next year too. Wow, how did I luck out?
