Christmas 2013

No Taylor Family Christmas would be complete without...
 
Cookie Making and Delivering
(We made nearly 10 dozen this year.  Pumpkin and gingerbread and peppermint pinwheels and chocolate bonbon cookies. Whew!)
 
 
 
 
 
Taylor Family Christmas Eve Bonfire
and reading of the Christmas Story from the Bible. 
 
 
Yummy Food
We pulled out the fine china and crystal and I even brined a turkey for the first time ever.  (Thanks C & J for the turkey and thanks Mom for the brine recipe.  It was sooooo good.  Makes me hungry again just looking at the pictures.)
 

 
Kids going crazy Christmas morning opening up presents

 
Skype-ing with Gma M.

 
P. tries out her new roller skates.
 
Many thanks to all the Santa's out there who made our holidays so wonderful!

Impressive cookie making skills! Pretty sure 10 dozen way tops the cookie-making extravaganza back in Piracicaba days. ;)

(Of course, it looks like you had more enthusiastic sous-chefs this time!)
