Christmas Recap Part One: The food!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas I sure did! I took a million pics yesterday so I am separating the posts by The Food, The Fun and The Fashion =) Here are some of the food pictures.

We started our Christmas celebration by having a Traditional Czech dinner cooked by my grandma. Fried cod was the main course.
Potato salad is a must.
And accompanied by the not so traditional salad
The meal started with a very traditional Cod soup.
served with bread.

Christmas morning was at our house, we had smoked salmon, fruit, orange juice and coffee.

The spread:
Served on my PB Reindeer collection plates.
Every year after we open presents with my family, Casey's Mom and Gen come over for Mimosas and shrimp cocktails.
Christmas dinner is at my Mom's house, where My Step Mom cooked our dinner. Yes I wrote that right, my Stpe Mom cooked us dinner at my Mom's house lol.

Thank you for all wonderful food! It made Christmas very special!

Celebration: Four Christmases

Remember how I mentioned how much I could relate to the movie Four Christmases? Well Casey and I literally have four Christmases to attend. Tonight's was Christmas #2 at Casey's Mom's house. Sheila was so sweet and had her place decorated so cute! We had a great time playing with my nieces, eating GOURMET french food (French was the theme of the night in honor of my SIL Rebecca) and opening gifts. I received the most thoughtful gifts. Thank you so much Sheila!

Sheila's adorable decorations and gift wrapping... her secret is glue guns!!







Rebecca gave us all French themed gifts, everything was made in France =)
My girly gifts from Sheila. She may have raised two sons but she sure knows how to shop for the girls!
A new notebook!!! I have a notebook obsession, hence the blog name. How cute is Rebecca that she made these?? She needs to open an Etsy store!
And Sheila always remembers Pennie =)
And my favorite gifts of the night were both vintage AND things I have been on the hunt for!
Rebecca hunted down this totally awesome globe for me, I adore it! I can't wait to find the perfect place for it. I have always wanted to collect globes so this is my first one! =)
AND....... Sheila found me Vintage Champagne Coupes that I have been wanting FOREVER!!!!!
SO EXCITED ABOUT THESE! Just in time for New Years, I will feel so Marie Antoinette toasting with these. Unsure what to toast with this New Year's eve? Check out my friend LC's review of Sparkling wine and Champagne on her blog.
LOVE THESE!
Thank you so much to my wonderful family, I am so lucky to have gained such an amazing Family into my life. I love them all dearly. I only hope your holiday season is as wonderful as mine has been. I love Christmas excitement!
