Christmas Eve with our loud Italian American Family

Christmas is all about the food... as with any holiday i suppose.  In our family the Friets are the comfort food of choice. My mum in-law makes the dough... and it rises and rises then she adds the insides. Essentially back in Texas we called them fried pies but these are not sweet they are savory and delicious.

and then the craziness of gifts






alas Jac's birthday acknowledgment and the yummy Italian pastries my brother in-law  waited an hour and a half to  buy





What a Wonderful Life!
