So it's the first Christmas, and we decided to put the tree up today because of the impending retail madness, it started off a bit rough... we had to read the directions...well not really, I just wanted to make fun of her with the totally Charlie Brown tree. In the end after stringing up lights together and then I started cooking for our local family Thanksgiving dinner, I've decided I need to work on my pie technique... I should have blind baked the crusts even though the directions didn't ask me to do it. They're pumpkin pies with a pecan crumble topping... I hope they taste better than they look! I also made two kinds of stuffing, a box from Trader Joes for Tracy and Co. as well as my favorite, a Chorizo and Cornbread stuffing. Although, somehow I made it home from the grocery store without carrots or celery, I made it anyway.
Tracy continued with the tree and our combined ornaments, it looks great. Things are tight in the house, but should be a very nice first Christmas!
Looking forward to a nice Thanksgiving in Plymouth and the rest of the holiday season!
Shaun and Tracy.
