A Mashed Potato Christmas


A wonderfully mushy, slushy, fluffy, white Christmas.  We actually had one.  In Texas.  I know, I can hardly believe it myself!

The snow started coming down hard on the afternoon of Christmas Day and we ended up getting three inches of build up!  My dad and sister had a snowball fight in the backyard and the temperatures have been low enough that the snow still hasn't melted.  It actually looks like a winter wonderland and makes all of us, even the oldies, feel like kids again.  Today I'm hoping that we'll make a big pot of chili, buy some marshmallows and roast them by the fire.  I think the weather out-shined any of the gifts that we received for Christmas, however I did get to break in my new STAND MIXER last night that my sister got me.  Hip hip hooray!

I hope that you all have had a joyous, happy and warm holiday season and are getting some time off from work before the New Year.  I have some big things that I will be sharing with you all soon enough and then it's on to 2013!

  1. I'm so jealous! I can't believe TEXAS got 3" and we got zilch! I'm calling shenanigans. I'm glad you had a great Christmas and got a new stand mixer! What a treat.

  3. It's crazy to me how often it has snowed in Texas since I moved away. All I wanted growing up was snow on my bday (in January) and NEVER got it. Then I move away and it snows almost ever other year it seems like.

    Glad to hear you had a lovely Christmas! Can't wait to see what you whip up with the new mixer. :)

  9. Something must have gone crazy since we didn't get snow up here until today. We got a slushy mess as well and it's so heavy to shovel. Hope you enjoyed it!

  10. I hope you got to have the chili and marshmallows roasted over a fire. That sounds perfect. A nice follow-up to a white Christmas.

    I'm excited to hear the big news.

  14. It seems like you live in a much colder place than I had imagined. Hopefully no issues from the snow--just fun!
