The weekend before Christmas is when we kicked off our 2011 Christmas celebrations - starting in the kitchen of course! Hannah and I baked traditional sugar cookies and make chocolate, pecan, date bars - packaging some of them up to share with neighbors. Hannah was a much better helper this year - so excited to help!
I made a yummy dinner of braised short ribs and champagne risotto with asparagus - which we ate wearing our Christmas pj's in the dinning room (pj's is the one gift we open every Christmas Eve) so much fun! With a little help from daddy, Hannah was able to hang her 1st Christmas ornament on the tree, a tradition I hope to continue every year! Santa was very generous and sent Hannah a beautiful new kitchen set and monogrammed chair! (Thanks mom & dad!)Hannah was so happy and excited for her new toys and gifts - I love the look of pure joy and peace on her face!
We headed over to Granddad and Grandma Pillsbury's house for dinner and more Christmas celebrating. Hannah received an awesome shopping cart, pink trike, and basketball hoop to name a few - thanks for all of our gifts and a very special evening! Merry Christmas!
