Christmas 2011

Justin had to work on Christmas, but he didn't have to go in until noon. We had him all morning, which of course is the most important part of the day. Cindy and Dean came over for a lite breakfast and to see Ellie open her gifts.

Later that afternoon while Justin was at work, Ellie and I made our way to my in-laws. Cindy had cooked up a delicious Italian feast! She had done a minestrone and zuppa toscana soup with homemade bread sticks for the first course. The second course consisted of stuffed shells, chicken tetrazzini, and meatballs with a green salad and of course more breadsticks. For dessert she made sugar cookies, that were the perfectly baked covered in thick frosting and a peppermint frozen pie with homemade fudge (Thanks Grandma Cooper) and more breadsticks ;)  She had truly out done herself. We also had a chance to visit with Justin's grandparents, his sister Erica and her husband Rajiv and their three little ones, and Rajiv's parent Malti and Vijay. Ellie kept herself busy with the stairs again, and playing with her cousins. We had a great time visiting.
