Today, mom and I really spent all morning in the kitchen. We’ve made – sweet potatoes, squash casserole, lady peas, corn pudding, pecan pie, Italian caramel cake and – dressing! Our family goes a bit nuts when it comes to the dressing. My MeMaw did it best and each year we kill ourselves trying to recreate it.
The kids got to wash up and we put them to work. The helped crumble the corn bread and crackers for the base!
I finally got a much needed shower and we took the kids to see Santa. Let me tell you – early is the way to go. I mean – the trees are up – why not get the visit out of the way? There was literally no line. We stopped for a few pics (possible Christmas card?).
If you’ve seen my previous posts – I was terrified about how Con would do. She is NOT a fan of anything in costume (can you recall the Easter Bunny disaster). So, I’ve been explaining how he’s a nice man that brings PRESENTS. Well this kid is pretty sharp – because she quickly decided he was no longer “scary” and hopped on his lap with a smile. I broke all of the rules and snapped my own pic. I ended up with a great one of both of them.
Crawford asked for Rescue Heroes and Skechers. Conlee asked for a “baby house.”
The weather was so nice that we headed to the square to check out the lights.
Not much I can say about the pic below!
Tribute to the troops.
