Christmas with Mom 2011

This year I had the opportunity to spend Christmas with my mom in Florida. It may have been for just a few days but, I was able to spend it with mom. I am so thankful that I have such a great mom.

Before leaving Illinois to go to Florida, I told my mom that she didn't have to worry about making Christmas dinner. Larry and I were going to cook for her this year. So I asked mom what should would like for dinner on Christmas. Mom's reply was simply "steak". So this year we didn't have a traditional Christmas dinner, instead we had rib eye steak, asparagus, and mushrooms that were grilled along with baked potatoes. Let me tell you that is was delicious! Oh yeah, lets not forget desert....pecan pie.

Christmas is not about what you get, but what you can give. Christmas is about spending time with the ones you love. I may not have gotten to spend Christmas with my entire family this year but, I am working on that for Christmas 2012!
