We celebrated Christmas with my Grandma M. yesterday, though our travel over river and through wood was aided by several handy expressways!
When we arrived, we had the chance to open some great gifts.
I got a box set of Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire musicals...
My dad got a new book...
And my brother got a pair of fishing waders. Can you believe all that good loot?
I crocheted my Grandma M. a swirly scarf, which she modeled for a few pictures...
Boy did we have a fun afternoon!
And to top it all off, we had a yummy lunch to dig into after we worked up an appetite from opening all those presents.
We had Tarragon Turkey Salad Sandwiches, complete with toasted pecans and craisins...
Potato soup...
Caprese salad...
And ribbon sandwiches. Have you ever had one of these? You slice a loaf of bread the long way, before layering the slices with different kinds of salads and spreads. Not only is it interesting to look at, but it's really yummy!
And although our Uncle F. couldn't be there, he sent over the greatest dessert: Ice Cream Poinsettias!
Not only were they beautiful, but they tasted divine! My mom told us that her family used to have these on holidays, so it was a really special treat for our Christmas with Grandma M!
Thanks for stopping by- I hope you have a wonderful Wednesday!
