Our Christmas Dinner

Our girls are ready for their Christmas dinner.
I am getting Christmas dinner ready for us in the kitchen! Christmas Hugs with Jillian
Our Christmas Menu- Over the past 7 years Brad and I have "been together" (including a year of dating and a year of engagement), we have enjoyed many a delicious meal with friends and family. And over those years, we have collected our favorite recipes from those loved ones and have now created the most yummy, incredible Christmas dinner. :-) Some of the recipes have been modified a little to our tastes (the squash casserole has less sour cream and more Pepperidge Farm stuffing and the green bean bundles we used turkey bacon instead of maple bacon and added red peppers to make it more festive for Christmas)!

Ham

Sister Schubert Rolls
Favorite of my Aunt Mac- Houston, Texas

Green Bean Bundles
Recipe from Carol Elliott- friend from Arlington, Virginia

Squash Casserole
Recipe from Karen Holmes- Brad's Mom in Dallas, Texas

Homemade Mashed Potatoes
Recipe from Ralph Girlinghouse- friend from Bryan, Texas

Berry Mallow Yam Bake
Recipe from Trisha Pull- friend from Silver Spring, Maryland

Pumpkin Torte
Recipe from Kristin Irvine- friend from Mildenhall, England

Jillian pulled extra hard on the Christmas cracker and it made a BIG BANG! :-) Faith did a really good job of pulling the Christmas cracker! There were yummy star candies inside of it along with a little toy and crown for our head.
