IT'S THE EVE OF CHRISTMAS EVE




In our family, Christmas has always been something of a slumber party affair. It's not enough to just be in the same town as your loved ones. You really need to be in the same house, for the duration! Lex fixed us all a fabulous Beef Bourguignon for supper (though it took a bit of encouragement from her father, before she could summon the nerve to set the cognac aflame), then she could have gone home to her own nice comfy bed in Austin, only 45 minutes away, but she didn't dare. You just can't chance missing out on any of the fun!

Looks like fun, fun, fun! Merry Christmas Eve to the entire Lane family. I'm taking a moment away from frying up sweet Italian sausage and sizzling garlic in olive oil for homemade marinara to spread on pizzas tonight. We're starting a new tradition with friends tonight: pizza and lasagna on Christmas Eve!

Have a wonderful weekend!

Not Christmas Eve yet - that was Christmas Eve Eve! But it was cozy, nonetheless. We decided to do make-your-own pizzas for Christmas Eve dinner, after we get home from a fun outing in Austin, then it will be beef tenderloin on Christmas day. Merry Christmas to both of you!
