since we are not with family this year, it felt extra important to me to make all of the traditional holiday dishes. there is so many that i am having to spread them out over christmas eve, christmas morning, christmas dinner and of course new years.
for thanksgiving this year we did a big finger food spread and the kids loved it and requested it for christmas as well. so jarad is in charge of getting the snacks and i also made pigs in a blanket (which were a huge hit with ryder) red and green pepper pin wheels.
for christmas breakfast, it wouldn't be the same without my moms chili cheese thing. and my family particularly loves cinnamon rolls and of course bacon from the milkman, which is loved by ALL of our family and expected when they visit.
and for dinner, i really wanted to make a pot roast. but i also had to make my dads potato pancakes which are EVERYONE'S favorite, usually we eat those for christmas breakfast, but this will do and now i feel fat and happy.
You hit all our family food highlights and then some EB. Awesome job of making Christmas special for your family. We will be looking forward to future holidays and birthdays to all celebrate together. xoxo
