Christmas was a little odd this year, since we got back from our cruise on Christmas Eve.
Santa must have been hungry!
Pics of our tree before opening presents
We enjoyed the Christmas Day service at church
Drew actually smiled for a photo with gift from Santa!
Excited about my gifts!
Family pic at church since none of us really in the mood beofre getting to church
After church we headed up to Moreland to spend the day with Rob’s family. The calm before the cooking storm…
This is Sweetie…she makes me laugh.
My nephew staring in to space
My nephew hung out in the kitchen.
Playing peek-a-boo
Starting the dough! That means we eat in little over an hour!
Nick and Drew hard at work pounding out the dough while Rob supervises.
Rolling it out
Flattening the noodles
Cutting strips into spaghetti
Family tradition and rules say that if you want to eat you must come help turn out the pasta.
I didn’t think to get a picture of the final product until my plate was half demolished. I was starving. It was totally delicious. All the hard work paid off. After hanging out some more we finally made our way back home late that evening.
