Charlotte's First Christmas!

We spent Christmas at my parent's house (Jennifer's parents). We got there Christmas eve after driving in tons of snow to discover that the power was out! It actually was out until the day after Christmas. So, we had no power to cook all of the yummy Christmas food! Eventually we resorted to cooking the ham on the grill and the green bean casserole on the wood burning stove. It tasted great anyways! We had fun, even with out electricity. Hope everyone else had as great a Christmas as we had! Happy Holidays!
