Christmas Eve

This year we had Christmas Eve dinner at our house.  I made a delicious prime rib roast with a herb & horseradish crust. It was so good! I was quite proud of myself, I had never made one before!!! The rest of the menu included warm artichoke dip (my very own recipe) & rosemary bread, sauteed brussel sprouts w/ lemon and whole grain mustard, mashed potatoes & deviled eggs! Oh & my mom baked a spiral ham too! It was such a good meal!

 Here's my roast before:

And here it is all plated and ready to eat!

The mantle over the fireplace was lit with candles

The Rays!

 Carter in his "moose" jammies. They are actually reindeer and Christmas trees but he thinks they are moose! haha!!! He was so hyper that night & he kept trying to open some presents. He would pick one up and say, "Car-car (thats what he calls himself)?" and we would say yes but not until tomorrow morning! =)

cheers.
