Here is what we have been up to for the last two weeks :)
December 24th - we celebrated Kucci (pronounced koochie) with the Yuditsky's. This
twelve-dish Lithuanian Christmas Eve supper consists of twelve meatless dishes representing the
twelve Apostles.
After the lord's prayer the mother of the household will
anoint each person present with
honey, making the
sign of the Cross on their lips, saying: "In the name of the
Father and of the
Son and of the
Holy Spirit: may you have sweetness and many good things in life and in the new year."
This year we had crab cakes, coleslaw, shrimp salad, perogies, crab rangoons, potato salad, celery with cream cheese, rolls, shrimp, peas, salmon, and olives. It was a fun time had by all with lots of full tummies!!
The table set for Kucci.
Shelby and Cora playing :)
December 25th - TJ and I drove back home Christmas Eve so that we could spend Christmas morning together. We woke up, got our coffee, lit the German Christmas Tree, played Christmas music, opened presents and then I made my first ever batch of Biscuits and Gravy. This was a great way to start off Christmas....no tears shed!
Ready for Christmas morning....
