Burkified X-Mas

Does the picture below capture a reoccuring scene with me and the dog? I think so. Christmas Break I was able to catch up on A LOT of missed sleep! :) While I was catching up on my beauty sleep, Santa's little elf took a picture of Oscar and I.

Here is Neal and miss Char Char baking away! She has taught him well! It's finally paying off! Neal can now make Charlene's homemade rolls from scratch! I call these two my "shake n bake's". They're a good team!

To commemorate Neal graduating from Charlene's kitchen to our own home, our parents got us a brand new KITCHEN AID MIXER!!! We've been wanting one for the longest time so it was the perfect Christmas present! :) They got us the black one- they know us too well :) It matches perfectly with the other appliances in our kitchen, it looks beautiful in their and we've already put it to good use!

I look forward to this Christmas meal every year! We get to have my favorite... Grandma's deviled eggs and rasberry sparkling cider (Charlene's specialty). The food was amazing that night and it was the perfect way to end an amazing Christmas!

We missed Nate, Jen, and Bryn but we get to have them over next year!!! Here is the rest of the family enjoying our Christmas dinner :)
