I started baking 12/23 so that I wouldn't be too overwhelmed on Christmas. I started by making the snickerdoodles my family loves, new giant chocolate chunk cookies (these were a HUGE hit!), and my dads favorite, white chocolate cranberry cookies. Then on my birthday I made chocolate banana pie, pumpkin pie and my famous applelicious apple pie! So the only things left for me to make on Christmas day was my candied yams and green bean casserole.
On Christmas Morning, Aaron and I woke up at about 7:00am and had our own little mini Christmas. Harley opened her stocking first and then we opened ours...and then we opened up gifts we got for one another.

So just so I don't forget...I got my dad a coleman portable propane grill that he was super excited about!...with the heater my sister got him and the grill...he is all set for fishing/camping/whatever! I got my mom a watch that she really wanted, and a digital photo frame. And other than the bedding I made my sister, I got her hamper she wanted and 4 movie passes.
After my parents house, we went over to Aaron's parents house and opened more gifts there.
A new hard case for Aaron's bow! He really needed one of these!I don't have any more pictures because I was so busy opening, but I got a bunch of new work pants and matching jackets! I am so stoked to have a whole new wardrobe for work!
It was a crazy busy day with house hopping and gift giving/opening....when we were done with all the gifts, I headed back to my parents house so I could get started working on the candied yams and green bean casserole.
Dinner was DELICIOUS!! We did a really great job!
After dinner, we watched Dark Knight...GOOD MOVIE!
We had a great Christmas this year....as always really!
