In my family we love to get the Christmas day cooking done before Christmas Eve (not all of it), so that the kitchen is clean and we have the Christmas eve day to relax, watch Christmas movies, and get ready for church. The kitchen crew normally consists of my sister Alina, Grandma, Mom and myself, but this year the two “babies” (well not really babies anymore 12 & 13) but the two youngest kids Tiana and Keanu decided to help out. With there help we were able to get all the cooking/baking done in half the time, but with them also came double the mess. Here’s a sneek peek at what went on in our kitchen yesterday in preparation for Christmas day.
