I have been going to Pampa, Texas (home of The Harvesters) for Christmas since I was born. My Grandad lives there along with many of my wonderful cousins. Before heading up there I decided to make the oh so fabulous
Pioneer Woman Cinnamon Rolls. These are ridiculously good. So good I am upping my workouts this week...I only had one "hiccup" while making them...
She said to almost let you milk boil, and I was thinking mine was taking a long time to get there... I obviously missed something. My Mom and I drove together up to Pampa. When we got out to my Cousins ranch the tree was up, and look so beautiful!
My Dad and brother drove out a day later. The roads were pretty bad. I would like to tell you that after getting back in town I immediately cleaned my car but no, it pretty much still looks like this.
Christmas morning is something I truly love, but I missed Tall Tan Man this year. It was very strange not having him there, and him celebrating Christmas the day before us {Australia is quiet far from Texas}. We ate the PW cinnamon rolls for breakfast, along with an egg and sausage bake that I will share with y'all later. After this my Grandad prepares to grill the beef tenderloin. This is by far the best meat I have had ever in my life. My mouth is watering as I type this. Here he is working on it:
Who doesn't love side dishes?
Time to enjoy what we have been working on! Pretty sure I am always first to get seconds.
Then the men watch football fall asleep...
That is my little brother, Michael. This little guy below is a new addition to the family this year.
He is precious. After Christmas we headed back into town, and spent some time at my Grandad's house. This place holds a lot of memories.
Sorry for the picture overload...figured Tall Tan Man might want to see all of it. :) Hope y'all are having a fabulous week!
