Merry Christmas!
We had a successful Christmas eve dinner...filled with the traditional foods of our Ukranian heritage. My husband and I are both part Ukranian and we blend our own traditional foods with our own. This included homemade pierogies. We haven't made them homemade in about 5 years - since before my sister got sick. Weds. we made about 5 dozen in a team effort - our son peeled the potatoes, hubby mashed them, I made to dough and rolled it and made the pierogies and hubby cooked them and cleaned up. We always open a bottle of wine and make a huge mess in the kitchen.
Last night we ate them...so good!
This morning we were up early and exchanged presents. Lots of laughs and fun and thoughtful presents. Our crazy little dog loves to open presents - really! We have to keep him away from the pile or he would open them all himself...it is too funny!
I have to assemble two gift bags to take along today - filled with wine, homemade pesto and sweet and spicy almonds. As long as the weather holds up - they are calling for freezing rain today - we are headed to my BIL's house. It will be a fun day filled with family and good food! My husband's family is so much fun!
So Merry Christmas to All!
