Christmas Eve Food

Party Cake from Dorie Greenspan's Baking.....the boys favorite part of the meal:).

Meat Lasagna from Lidia Bastiniach's Italian American Kitchen

Tomato Basil and Mozzarella

My meat sauce...it was SO good. I made it on Thursday.

Jon took the boys out on "errands" Christmas Eve. I had already made my sauce and lasagna, so I baked my cake. It was a huge victory for me, because I am notorious at having huge baking failures. It was white cake with lemon flavor, buttercream frosting, raspberry jam for the filling and coconut on top. It was a party cake because according the boys it was Jesus' birthday party.

We went to church at 4 and sat with friends and then headed home for a nice meal. Jon and I had already done all our wrapping, so we watched It's A Wonderful Life and just enjoyed the evening!
