The "kids" table complete with Mary Reese's version of a Charlie Brown Christmas tree...
Banks was dying that I made him sit at the "kids" table. He begged to be moved to the adult table..."he is 7 years old after all!" Maybe next year!
Here is just some of the food we pigged out on between Christmas Eve and Day. Christmas Eve started out with Rib Roast prepared 2 ways...
One was rubbed with roasted garlic and fresh herbs and smoked on the green egg. The other was encrusted in a dough made from salt, pepper, garlic, herbs and flour then baked in the oven. Both turned out delicious! We also had potatoes 3 ways...
...a stuffed sweet potato, stuffed purple potatoes and twice baked potatoes. They were as delicious & delightful as the display! We had an old standard...
...Mac & Cheese! And for our green veggie...
...Green Beans. We also had Melt in Your Mouth Rolls...
When I went to bake the rolls, I forgot I had stashed some of Santa's cookies in the oven for safe keeping...
Oopps...luckily I already had Santa's out! We wouldn't want him to skip over our house because we didn't have any cookies for him!
A chocolate cake with chocolate ganache filling, chocolate buttercream frosting and topped with homemade marshmallows...
I can't remember a Christmas morning without eating Sausage Stuffed French Bread...
We also had an egg casserole with veggies and bacon...
...and gingerbread waffles...
Christmas night was low key! We had some snacks...
...Bread Pot Fondue and marinated goat cheese...
...made right down the road in Elkmont, Alabama! Delicious! Uncle Christopher also made a huge pot of his Beef Shank Vegetable Soup. I haven't even mentioned the Pepper Jelly/Cream Cheese, Zippy Cranberry Spread, Strawberry Pretzel Salad, Sticky Buns, Biscuits, Caramel Cake and Fruit Cake Cookies.
I was so tired of all the holiday food that tonight all I wanted was...
