Yesterday, we had our first family Christmas. Yes, I think it gets earlier every year.
It seemed strange having it on Remembrance Day and I couldn't help but wonder what the ceremonies would have been like back at CFB Petawawa. Something to see I'm sure. I'll admit that sometimes I miss living on an army base, it was pretty interesting.
I feel like I spent much of my weekend cooking. Saturday it was prepping Loaded Baked Potato soup for the slowcooker and baking Zucchini loaf, and Sunday it was scalloped potatoes to feed forty people. I must have sliced about seven pounds of potatoes! They are well worth the effort though. Totally not good for you, with cream cheese, sour cream and more cheese but I do throw in some peas-hey, it's a vegetable!
This week I think we will bake some Rhubarb muffins and make some salt dough ornaments for the Christmas tree that we will get-eek-next month-already?
