Merry Christmas!

Merry Belated Christmas from our house to yours. We had a relaxing and quiet Christmas at the Lucas house. We kicked it off on Christmas Eve with Zach making us all brekkie. He made a fabulous breakfast pie with potatoes, sausage, and eggs. JT offered to make dinner and cooked us all a delicious meal that included pomengrante and serrano basted cornish game hens, potato cakes, and roasted vegetables all courtesy of Thomas Kellar's cookbook Ad Hoc. 

Christmas morning was nice. The girls had been up multiple times during the night as Lizzie had an ear infection and cold. The boys tried to sneak out around 5:30 but we squashed that and managed a later start. The chickens seemed to enjoy the entire event. Kat definitely was the one most interested perhaps because Liz was sick. Kat was extremely happy with each gift whether hers or not and was often clapping as we opened our gifts.

I tried hard to create a perfect Christmas morning shot but as you can tell we had a bit of a struggle.

We are starting off good but only one chicken. Everyone is dressed because for some reason the boys slept in clothes and the chickens wanted to get dressed as soon as they woke.

Lizzie photo bombs us.

While Zach tried to coax Lizzie in to the photo, JT and Lizzie get extra cute for the camera.
