The last few years I haven't been able to make it home for Christmas, but this year I did. It was really nice to spend time with family and just be. I had a great time, even down to the drive (which if you know, I hate driving... especially long distances!). I had time to think, evaluate and reflect on the past year.
As soon as I got in, I went to my sister's house and spent time with her and her husband's family. I had a lot of fun getting to know them and showing them how to make scallops. I'm pretty sure we all overdosed on them :)
The next morning, I drove over to my mom's house and spent all day with her. Becky and Dan came over before they went to their families Christmas' and they brought me a really amazing French Rose that they bought while traveling abroad as well as a really cute portrait that says "Time to drink champagne and dance on the table."
Becky even brought her homemade peanut butter blossoms.... no one has really mastered the recipe like she has! They are everyone's favorite, I swear.
Do you remember my Jeni's Splendid Ice Cream post? She came to Williams-Sonoma for her book signing and I met her. Well, I was in Chicago at a gourmet food store and they had her ice cream! It made me smile.
My last night in town? Roasted Duck at Becky and Dan's house! It was the perfect ending to my trip.
