Days 24 & 25 of Family December

December 26th, 2015 at 07:47 pm

These of course were completely family-fun-filled days. Smile

Christmas Eve I basically let the kids eat and do whatever they felt like (up to and including macaroni for breakfast, which I also indulged in Smile ). I did a ton of cooking, making veggie sausage and pepperoni for our downstairs neighbors, fixing little snacks for whoever wanted something, making a Persian herbed rice called sabzi polo for dinner with the neighbors, and making "sunrise pasta casserole" (spaghetti with sauce, veggie sausage, eggs/tofu and cheese) that we could throw in the oven Xmas morning for brunch. We set out the British and the American Santa snacks (mince pie and rum, cookie and milk) and I helped the kids write and sign a note to Santa.

Xmas Day we did the usual, opening presents, playing with the presents, stuffing our faces, lazing around and napping. We (well, Santa) got the 3-year-old SL a play toolbox and tape measure and that went over huge. AA got a ton of girly stuff by request, but we also got her some science stuff (a kit, a microscope with slides) and those ended up being some of her favorite toys of the day. I read them some of their new books, played some of their new games, etc. Our friends came upstairs for dinner; AS and I cooked veggie ham and roast (both store bought), fried potatoes and biscuits, and our friends made a bunch of different veggie sides. SL and I developed slight colds, and NT was still out of it from pain medication, but overall it was a really good Xmas.

    That sounds like such an amazing celebration Smile Loved reading about AA's presents - it's always so nice to see people sending the message that it's okay to be girly AND smart! My science kit as a kid was one of my favorite presents. Hope she just loves it!
