Jeaux and I invited Dad and Connie over for Christmas Eve dinner! We made white bean pot pies, homemade dinner rolls, vegan scalloped potatoes, green bean casserole, whipped cauliflower, and homemade gravy. We had a gift exchange after dinner. And then there was a gingerbread roll and five kinds of homemade cookies!

I made lemon bars for Mother’s Day but my mom wasn’t well enough to want to hang out so I had to freeze some for her for later.

Sister Lindsay and brother-in-law Mike were in town for the holidays so I had them over for Christmas Eve with Mom and Jeaux. Yummy dinner, but everything was kind of on the cold side. Bad management.
