Christmas Eve Eve

Since Sabrina missed Thanksgiving I thought it would be fun to have a Thanksgiving dinner with the family to celebrate Christmas Eve Eve. I cooked every night during the week to prepare for our feast. On Thursday I raced home after work to get the turkey in the oven. While the turkey was cooking, I set the table and got all the side dishes ready. I made salmon pate, scalloped corn, stuffing, mashed potatoes, peas, crescent rolls, and gravy. It doesn't seem like we have been able to hang out all together much this year so it was nice to have some family time.

We had a surprise visit from Carlie, who is home for the holidays, which was a nice surprise. I don't get to see her that much so it was good to catch up. While Carlie was here we enjoyed my homemade pumpkin pie and apple crumble for dessert. Both were delicious! We were going to head out as a family to view the holiday lights, but everyone was too tired so we watched Home Alone 2 instead. I really enjoyed cooking Thanksgiving dinner and it was a really fun night with the family. I think we might have to make this Christmas Eve Eve family night a tradition! :)
