Christmas Eve at Our Condo

Last night, Corey's mom, dad and brother joined us at our place for dinner, dessert and to commence the opening of presents.

Dinner included
toasted spiced ham drizzled in honey, fancy green beans and roasted red potatoes with onions and peppers. It was the first time we'd ever cooked a ham and it turned out really well. For some reason, cooking a ham made us feel like adults (i.e. old) but it was fun and super easy.

After dinner, we opened presents - we were spoiled! Gifts included a new fleece for Miss Roxy, clothes, a gift certificate to Volterra (wahoo for date night!), a pastry bag for decorating (I'm going to aim for the best looking desserts in Ballard!), a new version of Lips for the Xbox (yes, we tried it out last night), and much more. And this is just the start! We are headed over to Joan's tomorrow for stockings, exchanging gifts with Consuelo and Christmas dinner and then my parents and grandma will join us tomorrow to wrap up the Christmas festivities.

For dessert, I made cranberry apple crisp and served it with vanilla ice cream. Seemed like a festive option that everyone would enjoy.

A few photos from Christmas Eve are below and all photos can be found here.

Curtis had to test out Corey's hat...might have been a bit too big.
