We survived the holidays!

I admit, I'm one of those people that gets stressed out around the holidays. Between all the family activities and us all getting sick, it was a lot to juggle. But it's over and we survived. Unfortunately I don't have any pictures of Baby G yet because I left my camera at our house so have to get the pictures from my mom. The only picture I have with me right now is our awesome roasted chicken from Christmas Eve. I made a compound butter with fresh rosemary, sage, and orange and lemon zest and slathered it under and on top of the skin. There's a whole head of garlic, an onion, the lemon and orange, carrots, and celery for aromatics. It was pretty much the best chicken ever!




Baby G wasn't so sure what to think of her first Christmas. She had a lot of fun at Grandma and Grandpa's house (and was absolutely spoiled by them!). By the end of the day at her Great Grandparents' house she was about ready for a meltdown Or two. Or three. There was a lot of action that she's not used to at home. She seemed to calm down a little after her Christmas feast of carrots and rice cereal (yum?). She slept the whole way home then went right to bed like a good girl. We were worried all the action of the day would keep her up all night, but she did great.

I hope everyone out there reading had a wonderful Christmas!
