These are a few pictures of Christmas Day at our home. Craig was home so he and Jacob got up early and checked out the scene under the Christmas tree. Jacob soon began serenading us with Christmas carols in an attempt to get us up out of bed...presents needed to be opened! Of course the fire was lit, though somehow Santa neglected to put anything in the stockings. Hmmm, perhaps that had something to do with us not leaving out a snack for him.
Before any present opening, the boys had to pose for the traditional first portrait of Christmas.
We went to church that morning, then returned home and started working on the feast for our family. I created my world famous bacon cheese grits bread, always a favorite.
The dough includes grits and cheese, and is then rolled out and bacon, more cheese, and red and green pesto are added.
The dough is rolled up "jelly roll fashion" and baked. Yum!
Here's a cross sectional view of the bacon cheese portion.
We had a huge gathering for dinner. I believe we had a total of 16 around the table. We were only missing our son Stephen and his wife Betsy and Craig's girlfriend Brooke in order for the scene to be complete. Stephen was due to fly in that night, but due to weather issues he was delayed.
After many activities Jacob and the girls slowed down for some evening story time.
