Troy and I had such a wonderful Christmas. We spent our morning building a cozy fire, making homemade waffles and bacon for breakfast and opening each other's gifts (including our favorite stocking stuffer candy). It was perfect. I made a traditional holiday spread in the Collins family. It is butter, cream cheese & orange juice and orange zest reduced. YUM!! That has made it on every piece of toast, waffle, cracker I can think of this season. After breakfast, we began the process of making Troy's Mom's yeast rolls and cinnamon rolls. It was a lot of fun, and it is a good thing we took scrupulous notes when we made them over Thanksgiving vacation in Idaho. There are specific steps that just can not be left out. Thank you Jill!! They turned out quite well, but they still aren't Jill's rolls.
We traveled over to my mom and dad's house for dinner and had a great time. Their house was decorated so beautifully. My grandmother and brother were there, which we weren't sure they would be able to be due to the snow, so that was nice. My mom made a fabulous dinner of ham, squash, and pasta. It was amazing. We opened our family gifts together and enjoyed the simplicity of the evening. Another Christmas over too quickly.
I'm so glad to hear that you guys had a good Christmas. I'm jealous that you made rolls and cinnamon rolls. I really need to make those! The waffles looked wonderful and Travis loved the picture of Troy up close and personal.
