We started a new tradition: a fried turkey for Christmas Eve dinner and beignets while we wait. We had so much fun doing it, and it's a good thing because we all smelled like oil and fried food. Christian was completely sold on the turkey frier after tasting fried turkey at a friend's house on Thanksgiving. So, we decided to get the most out of the oil and first fry some doughnuts, or beignets as they call them in New Orleans. The only problem with this is that December in Milwaukee is cold, and usually snowy. Christian had the answer: fire up the kerosene heater to keep an eye on the roaring fire already going in the driveway. He loved it!
Kerosene heater.
Excited for beignets!
Braving the roaring turkey frier with tiny dough triangles. (yeah, I cheated and used Pillsbury crescent dough. Worked like a charm!)
Christmas morning - with a bow from the wrapping paper. So cute!
Yet another Christmas with Legos on the top of the list.
The AT AT Walker was the envy of all the boys. When they crowded around the walker, begging to play with it Jack told Winfield and Charles, "be grateful for what you got!"
Sleepy girl!
The only things Charles wanted for Christmas were "a digger and a dump truck" and he got them.
