Other than the fact that it started toooooo early, Christmas was wonderful! Scott and Hope were up at who knows what time and waited until 4:00 a.m. to wake us up by singing Frosty the Snowman. I was in such a deep sleep I thought I was at some school Winter Concert or something. Well we were awake at that point so we shared presents and then Mark and I went back to bed. I didn't wake up again until 9:00 so I was under a little pressure for our 11:00 Christmas Brunch. Scott called everyone and changed the time to 11:30. That was the least he could do, don't you think.It was a fun morning with the cute little ones and most of all having everyone there. Marci took some pictures of the table for me. I really need to get better about having my camera out and ready. She's my role model for picture taking. Thanks Marci!Every Christmas Eve part of the menu is:

I'm so glad you posted the recipes!
Yum...everything looked so good!
I wanted to tell you, if you like SCUM you should try The Great Dalmuti. I haven't played SCUM, but apparently the two are very alike. I just bought it for my sister-in-law and it was only 10 bucks on Amazon. It was sooo much fun when I played it with a group of my gal-pals. I think you use face cards for SCUM but this game is a little different, with twelve 12s, eleven 11s...all the way down to one 1 (aka the Great Dalmuti). Maybe its a fun little twist to SCUM. You will have to let me know if you try it.
Happy New Year!!
