Christmas Kitchen



 I made these wreathes in a couple minutes- just a grapevine wreath form from AC Moore, onto which I wired some cedar garland.  I just hot-glued the ribbon together at the top.






It's just downright cozy in here! This is the third year in a row I've put up our Christmas cards on our cabinets.  Simple, yet fun- going to the mailbox during the month of December is so exciting!  Now, I can see all those happy faces all day long.  I'm so cheesy, I know.



This year, I will be cooking up Christmas Eve dinner.  We will be going to the 5 o'clock service at church, so I need something do-ahead with no last minute prep.  Enter. . .GUMBO!  Um, look at the pictures from that post- almost four years ago.  I have no wrinkles.  I blame the children.

Anyway, seafood gumbo, rice, and maybe a citrus salad to start?  It's not beef tenderloin, but will still be mighty good.  Good thing I documented this clean kitchen- doubtful it will stay this way for long.
