Shortly after returning from our ski trip, it was time to celebrate Christmas in Abilene. My mom had the entire house decorated for Christmas- lots of greenery, snow men, Santa, nativity sets, and of course, the beautiful tree. My Aunt Lisa came to help us celebrate, which made it even better!
In keeping with our family tradition, we always open one present on Christmas Eve. And that one present happens to be pajamas- matching pajamas that is. We opened them up and posed for family pictures. 
Even though Sarah couldn’t be with us, she still had her Christmas Eve present to open!
We woke up Christmas morning and opened the rest of our presents! I got a magic bullet, some new tennis shoes, a new camera, and a new recipe book called “Hello Cupcake.” I love the cupcake book!For Christmas Day, we ate, played games, watched tv, played more games, took naps, and relaxed. It was the perfect way to spend the day.
Ivy got some new bobos and a stocking with a toy candy cane! Santa was very good to her, even though I'm not too sure about how good she was this year . . .
Another family tradition, involves a family recipe- my MaMa’s Buttermilk Pie. When I was younger, she taught me how to make it and it’s been requested at Moore Family Get-Togethers ever since. Sometimes, my brother even requests it for his birthday! If you’ve never had it, it’s worth a try. It’s a little bit like a custard, but still there is really nothing quite like it!
My MaMa’s Buttermilk Pie
1 (9 inch) pie crust, unbaked (MUST be homemade)
½ cup butter, melted
3 eggs
2 cups sugar
1 cup buttermilk
3 rounded tablespoon flour
1 teaspoon vanilla
Mix all ingredients. Pour in pie crust and bake in moderate over (350 degrees) until set, usually 45 minutes- 1 hour.
Ivy had a great time at my parents. Plenty of people to entertain her and lots to do (lots of ways to get in trouble!).
Amy and Rocky stopped by on Thursday night to hang out with the family. We had a great time catching up and talking about Baby McAdams!
Our Christmas was fabulous! And we're hoping that your Christmas was very Merry and filled with celebration, good food, and thoughts about what this special time is really all about!
On Friday, we drove to East Texas to celebrate with the rest of our family. We celebrated the Moore Christmas on Saturday- good food and good company. It was even better because my cousin, Tabitha, was home for the holidays from Ecuador! We had a great time catching up and she showed us all her pictures from the past few months. She has a blog where you can follow her adventures in Ecuador!
On Sunday, we celebrated the Walker Christmas. More delicious food! Then, we decided to try out one of the recipes from the cupcake book! We decided to do the ornaments since it was our first try and we were celebrating Christmas. Everyone participated and I think we did a pretty good job.
