Spatulas and Scavenger Hunts: A Very Merry Christmas

Christmas at my house is about spending all day together, something that seems to rarely happen on ordinary days now that we're all going in different directions. We have Christmas dinner on Christmas Eve so that we don't have to cook, and make up our breakfast casseroles the night before so we can just pop them in the oven. This year Mom and I did most of the cooking together, and I learned how to make from-scratch rolls. They are to die for, I'm just saying. So, it's about spending all day together, and also eating really, really well. We're a family of foodies, what can I say?
