dressing Harley up in Christmas scarves and such,
and generally just hanging with each other.
By afternoon, it was time to get cooking. As I had made buttermilk pies that morning, we focused on chilis for the squad Christmas dinner. I made Ree Drummond's Simple Perfect Chili
and Giada's White Bean Chicken Chili.
We delivered the food around 9:30 that night to a local hotel that had offered the space to us, and we had fun serving the officers. George took lots of pictures,
even though some did not make us very happy.
I got some good shots too.
In the end, everyone enjoyed the food and company. One officer, whose diet wouldn't allow carbs on that day, took a piece
make that two pieces
of buttermilk pie home with him for his free day. I think that look meant it was supposed to be kept on the down low. George had a great time with his squad, and the kids had a great time serving people who sacrifice so much to serve others. I was totally impressed with their enthusiasm to serve the officers and their dad, and they did not complain one time about our Christmas being delayed.
What an awesome Christmas Day!
