Family Christmas 2008

I have so many entries to post! I'm such a blog slacker! The blog may not be updated as often now that I am working 70 hours a week, but I'll try! Anyway, I've been meaning to put this one up forever - my family's Christmas! We spend the whole day eating, drinking and enjoying each other's company. We started out with just my mom, dad, sister, Evan, and myself. We opened presents (lots of great foodie books this year!) and then had breakfast. My dad always keeps a big pot of sausage and peppers on the stove on Christmas, which we devour throughout the day. This year he served some with eggs for breakfast.

My aunt, uncle, and cousins came over in the afternoon and we continued munching while playing with the Wii Evan and I got my parents. Virtual bowling anyone? There was the usual assortment of antipasti and cheeses (I am officially obsessed with pesto brie from Murray's). For dinner we had our traditional Christmas dinner - beef tenderloin with gravy, mashed potatoes, string beans and salad. Yum! Merry belated Christmas!

Is that shrimp nestled cozily next to the mashed potatoes?

I mean, next to the tenderloin...

Heck yeah! My dad got tons of shrimp and I encouraged him to serve some with dinner. It was genius.
