Mama prepared a nice Christmas meal that started off with a Harvest Soup. With notes of butternut squash, apple, potato, onion, leek and much more the soup was a hit!
Here's a quick photo before we dove into our soup with rolls. Not pictured here, obviously, are Dada and Xander. They were at the other end of the table.
After the soup, Mama prepared a tasty vegetarian meal. An onion tart was served with roasted asparagus and a baked potato. There were lots of mix ins for the potato so you could make that baby as fully loaded as you wanted.
Once anyone could think of eating again we had dessert! Mama always makes lemon pizzelle at Christmastime because Grandma likes it so much. Mama also picked up some tahitian vanilla bean gelato to go with the pizzelle - Auntie Samara's favorite! And why not, that stuff is beyond delicious! Grandma had made thimble cookies, which were super tasty, and there was peanut butter chocolate fudge too. And who can forget, soutlach! Everyone likes soutlatch!
After dessert, Auntie Samara and Uncle Jeremy had to get going so they could get to bed for work the next day. But before they left, Auntie Samara made sure Xander opened his present from them too. A new drum set! Xander loves this toy, including the bright orange drumsticks! It also plays animal sounds, can't go wrong with that! Thanks, Auntie and Uncle, for coming to our Christmas dinner and making the day the much more awesome.
