Christmas with the Brown's

Now that I got that last post out of the way, I can post why the horrible travels were all worth it. And I can pretty much sum it up with one word:  

FOOD!!!!

More specifically:   

Momma Brown's cinnamon rolls

Papa Brown's roast

Momma Brown's heavenly hash brownies

Auntie Chelice's crab Dip

Auntie Chelice's creamy mashed potatoes

The homemade ice cream from the Amish store, with chocolate hard-shell on top

Papa Brown's brined turkey

Momma Brown's homemade rolls

Indeed, I came home a fat blob, but it was well worth it. 

Now for some documentation of our trip. First things first.

Tea party with Prince Danny and Princess Aurora (per Liv's request)

 

Pictures with the worlds cutest pug, Matilda. I can still say I love this little doggy, even though she almost killed my child ;).

 

A bonding moment for Matilda and Warner, while, they were both undoubtedly thinking "why do these humans force us to dress up in silly things and take pictures, and when will this be over?"

As long as he's not asleep or dressed up in something silly, when a camera is pointed at him, Warner will almost unfailingly smile and say "Cheeeeeesssee!!!!"

 Papa Brown slaving away so that we could all enjoy a delicious Christmas Eve feast.

Trying to steer clear of crazy cooking ladies in the kitchen. . .

 Ali and Danny in their absolutely beautifully homemade Christmas sweaters. I love these guys. You can't see it in the picture but Danny's Christmas tree has lights on it that actually light up! So awesome.

 Christmas Eve dinner. Which was, oh so good.

Jaron, looking full and lethargic.

And finally.

 Christmas Morning:

 

After Liv got a Cinderella dress, Warner insisted on dressing up as well. So here he is. My boy that likes to wear dresses. What can I say? How was your Christmas?
