Christmas Eve Eve has become one of my favorite days. We always go to our friends house next door with another family and have appetizers for dinner. It's just easy and fun.
The girls ran back and forth between houses most of the day. They got the bright idea to organize our playroom and that was a big Christmas gift for me haha! I told them to go to Hilary's and do the same thing!
Grady and I delivered fudge to friends in our hood. A long tradition from my mom's mom to my mom and now me. Always done this for neighbors.
My dad ran a bunch of errands for me, including picking up this gorgeous arrangement from Ashley at @prettythings.charlotte Isn't it stunning? I wanted something to have on our island.
Over at Hilary’s. This year I made this wing dip, Asian Appetizer and cheeseburger sliders.
Christmas Eve - Molly Anne made cookies completely by herself. That was awesome. Peanut Butter Blossom
While Grady and my Dad built a fire!
Christmas Eve dinner table setting. Molly Anne set the whole table for me and made place cards for everyone.
Arugula wreath salad with mozz and tomatoes. Just sprinkled balsamic glaze and olive oil on top. Salt and pepper too.
We had filets from the butchers market (cooked like this, such a fool proof and tasty way to cook them), mashed potatoes, steamed green beans with olive oil and everything but bagel seasoning and these burgundy mushrooms. It was so good!
Grady learned how to cut meat! They both loved the filet and had seconds.
Then we went to the 7pm church service.
It was beautiful. You can see the second and third row balcony in the big windows.
Grady was freaked out when we got home that Santa would try to come and know that he was still up. We had looked for Rudolph's nose on our way home from church too. The magic was alive!
