Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve was spent with the usual last minute running around. Taylor and I went out and got the last few things needed while Dave was home smoking a brisket for Christmas Eve dinner. The weather was just as crazy as the stores we went into. The 23rd it had gotten up in the low 70's and then dropped drastically thru the early evening and night. We woke up Christmas Eve to some CHILLY weather with the chance of snow...YES SNOW! As the day went on we did indeed get some snow. It was looking like we might have a white Christmas!


Dave took some pictures of it snowing...this is the view from our backyard.


From our front yard.


The yummy brisket that Dave braved the weather to smoke!


AHHH! Funeral potatoes....NOT just for funerals! EVERYONE loves them!


Since Amber does NOT eat any red meat BUT hamburger, Dave bbq'd her some chicken.


Ready to eat.


After dinner and clean up it was time to make Santa some cookies.






Hunter thinks it's funny to do action shots. He didn't really lick the dough.


They looked so cute in their Christmas jammies and aprons!


Some of the cookies they cut out for Santa.


Taylor and Hunter putting out Reindeer feed to make sure Rudolph sees our house and stops! See the snow on the ground?!
Note Hunters lack of coat...it was bout 25 degree's out!! CRAZY KID!!

How funny, I made funeral potatoes also. First year in fact, we usually have mashed. I bet it was fun to get snow on christmas in TX.

A white Christmas. Couldn't believe it. We didn't have new snow that night but our ground sure was white...has been since November! Looks like your Christmas dinner was AWESOME with that brisket! Oh, how I miss a good brisket!

I love your pictures! I didn't get any pictures of the snow. I don't think it was snowing like that here until later in the evening...weird.
