After our last minute shopping to Old Navy and Costco and Target, cooking will begin today.  Our menu is as follows:

Appetizers:  Liver Pate, Meatballs, Stuffed Jalapenos Wrapped in Bacon
Dinner:  Braised Lamb Shanks, Creamy Mashed Potatoes, Peas with Rosemary, Rolls
Dessert:  Pound Cake covered with Raspberries and Strawberries and topped with whipped cream.
Drinks:  Preseco, Wine, Beer, and Lemon Water

Christmas music will soon be playing in our home and wonderful aromas will be smelled by all who enter.  Matt will be home shortly as he just called and his car is packed  ( I can't wait!) and I am so looking forward to Brian coming home and  for Nick to get up (It is 12:58 p.m.) as he, once again, did not come home last.
Is he on the naughty or nice list?  We shall see!!!
