I made a yummy Russian style whole wheat bread
and Whitney made piroshki stuffed with mashed potatoes and raspberry jam,
Russian New Year's salad
borsch 
and Russian apple cake.
We also snuck in a trip to the movies where we saw Despicable Me. We all LOVED it and I would highly recommend it. We had a delicious Christmas Eve dinner
and then we went to Michelle and Steve's for our Christmas eve program. It was fun being with all the Morris family.
Everyone brought a dessert to share. The kids acted out the nativity
and then we had our traditional talent show.
Christmas morning wasn't quite the same without little children, but we enjoyed opening presents
and then we invited Charlie and Lucille over for our traditional breakfast of Aebleskivers, bacon, scrambled eggs and hot chocolate.
We headed out to Missy's on Christmas evening. We had a delicious dinner and then enjoyed visiting with Pam and Roger and Missy, Jedd and the kids. I was dumb and didn't take any pictures ;( It was a wonderful Christmas with a Russian twist and we got the best Christmas present ever having Whitney home!

Beautiful photos of a beautiful Christmas. Don 't look so excited about the cookies, Taylor!
I bet you are so proud of Whitney! Congrats to all of you. It looks like a fun Christmas. You are such a good cook, Aunt Joan . . . those pictures are beautiful, especially that Russian apple cake! You are good at throwing parties.
Those pictures make me feel so homesick!! We had a nice Christmas, but it didn't feel the same as the ones spent at home with you guys and it was so much quieter. You ARE good at throwing parties. You've spoiled us all!
