Christmas again!

My family came to visit! Dad, Mom, Traci and Matt are all in Louisville this week to celebrate Christmas with us!

The guys started the night off right with a game of monopoly...

While the girls worked in the kitchen to prepare a feast for today's lunch!

Mmm.... Christmas appetizers!

These cookies are amazing! I found the recipe in a magazine, so I'll share it with you-

Bake 1 tube of refrigerated sugar cookie dough, or make your own sugar cookes (about 20 cookies total).

Mix 24 caramels with 2 tsp heavy whipping cream and melt in microwave. Drop a small circle on the center of each cookie. Arrange four pecan halves on each cookie. Melt 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips and place a smaller circle on the top of the caramel. For best results, let caramel and chocolate harden for 24-48 hours before serving.

Enjoying Christmas dinner

Then, came the presents... My parents gave me the sugar and creamer to match my china.

We gave mom pajamas, a CD and some lotion. Traci got a purse and a book. Matt got a gift cards and some socks. And, dad got some shirts and houseshoes.

Mom and Dad gave Mallory a flashlight and some cash. We both got a board game too!

MERRY CHRISTMAS... to all of you, from all of us!
