How to you fill the looooong day before Christmas? Cooking and eating worked pretty well for me. I started early this morning making cookie dough, then Parker and I cut them out and baked them. She made it nearly all the say to the end before getting bored. I have pictures of her helping...I'll put those in a different post.
After we iced cookies, it was time for a special fancy Christmas eve appetizer I've never tried to make before. Shrimp Dumplings! I had shrimp in the freezer, and the other ingredients on hand, so if these never got made, I was only out a couple bucks for the wonton wrappers. They were great - just like at a restaurant.
Next it was time for pizza. (I bought frozen dough). Parker had canadian bacon and onion and we had canadian bacon, onion, mushroom and pineapple mango salsa.
And now I'm going to SIT DOWN for the rest of the evening and help Parker track santa on the NORAD site.
