My sister and I dug through his wine collection for his nicest bottle. Lots of gifts that night, too! I had a very Kate Spade holiday. :) Christmas day was spent at my mom's with gift opening around the tree followed by mimosas and movie watching. We ended the day with a festive feast, for which I made Paula Deen's delicious sweet potato bake. I'll be posting the recipe to EpicureanTravelerBlog.com soon!Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01103597455249641820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-113460963504888511.post-36985342666373301122015-12-28T05:36:36.364-09:002015-12-28T05:36:36.364-09:00I like the idea of hosting breakfast for the holid...I like the idea of hosting breakfast for the holidays.
