After Joseph and I gave Maggie and Sophia their stockings it was then time to clean up and start cooking for the gathering at my sisters that afternoon. I made stuffed eggs, strawberry dessert, and pumpkin bread. Yummy.
Recipe:
1 frozen large pound cake
2 (8oz) containers of cool whip
2 cans of Strawberry pie filling
Directions:
Layer in a beautiful bowl as much as you would like.....ENJOY!!
Pretty simple but elegant looking and full of flavor. :)
Finished masterpiece...HAHA!
When we got to my sisters house the girls couldn't wait to get into their gifts. :) Mama and Jessica were in the kitchen cooking so we had to wait on them to find a stopping point. :)
This is a pic of my sisters tree and the gifts Joe and I bought for everyone. :) We were so blessed to have been able to get everyone something.
Jeslyn got the first gift. A towel to go with the new bathroom set they were about to open.
Hannah opened the soap pump and the tooth brush holders.
I made them open this bag together. They were both sooo excited but Hannah was most excited about it.
My happy Baby Bug. :)
Next came the BIG kids. lol Michael got bath stuff, razor, shave cream set.
Mama loved her coffee cup I had made for her. It was pictures I had taken of all the grandkids. It was so pretty. She also got Tupperware salt and pepper shakers, and a set of Tupperware bowls.
Ricky got bath set.
Jessica got 3 Home Interriors pictures, Tupperware Salt and Pepper shakers, Tupperware Colander, and a ser of candle stick holders.
After we opened gifts it was time to GRUB. HAHA!!! We LOVE to eat. We had cajun fried turkey, baked ham, peas, turnip greens, mac n cheese, stuffed eggs...I don't even remember what all but it was a bunch. lol While the "women" cleaned up the kitchen, Hannah and I took off on an adventure to take pictures. On the way to our destination, we about got attacked but a huge dog with broad sholders. Needless to say I FREAKED OUT! lol Hannah started to run and I was scared the dog was gonna go off after her. I am so glad to say we freaked out for nothing because the dog was inside an underground shock fence. I didn't know that until the neighbor came out and told us. lol
We went on to take pics. Here is just a few I snapped. I put them in a collage for her.
She done a great job posing for these pictures. My hannah bug used to be such a tomboy but has recently turned into a little young lady. :) Boy do I miss the baby bug though.
This is just a little to what "CHRISTmas 2011" was like in my world. I would like to read about yours aswell.
I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and have a Happy New Year!!
Love The Tanners. :))
