merry christmas!

Hope that everyone is having a safe, relaxing day filled with fun and family. And food. Lots and lots of food. We had a fantastic breakfast this morning; Mom has made it a tradition for the past few years to make what she calls ’breakfast strudels’. It’s scrambled egg, bacon (turkey bacon for our family though), and I think some green onion and other little tidbits for flavour wrapped up inside a phyllo pastry. Deelish. 

I also helped her put together what we had hoped would be a new Christmas breakfast tradition, Champagne and orange juice parfaits. Next time I think we will have to up the fruit and juice to alcohol ratio – they were a little too strong for most. We were all spooning away at our glasses for most of the morning while we opened gifts and watched the Little Brother rip open his many toys and videogames.

Now I’m starting to get hungry again… I know I am definitely looking forward to dinner (and dessert – need to eat up the rest of those cookies, and I made a carrot cake with tons of icing, yum) tonight! Merry Christmas!
