Merry Mini Christmas

We had a very mini Christmas at our house this past weekend. My brother, Grayson, will be spending Christmas in Colorado this year...so we had an early Christmas celebration for him at our house.
 It was lots of fun with lots of yummy food. See that cake...its Alton Brown's Red Velvet cake recipe...so delish. Those are Chocolate Crackle Cookies in the back. I found the recipe here. They were also yummy and made excellent Christmas gifts for the neighbors.
All of this baking was made possible by our new favorite toy....Merry Christmas to us:) Thanks Dad!!
 Along with the food there was excellent wine...
 And a goodie box of treats for our guest....
 These two were the center of attention the entire night....
 The lab is our nephew, River. Tillie is not so sure what to think of her much younger but way bigger cousin.
 
 For the most part you could tell she wasn't happy with any other furry animals in our house. This is her hiding behind my Mom...avoiding River like the plague. At times though she did warm up...
I hope everyone is enjoying all of the fun Christmas gatherings going on this time of year! We loved having our family over to celebrate!
