HAH Family Christmas

Tonight we had our HAH (Home Away from Home) kids over for Christmas dinner. Our kids met each student at the door and immediately wanted them to open their stockings full of surprises. I did not get pictures of the stockings (kicking myself now) full of goodies. The guys found over the door basketball goals, ear warmers for football season (2 of them got PKA ones and our soon-to-be med student got one with UAB on it), travel size Axe body wash, duct tape, Carmex, candy, hot chocolate and popcorn in their stockings. The girls found sleep socks, Kool-Aid chap stick, specialized pocket size Kleenexes, travel mugs with their names embroidered (thanks, Melissa), hot chocolate, popcorn and candy in their stockings. We dined on Mexican Chicken Stuff with chips and tortilla shells.

Mexican Chicken Stuff

1 can mexicorn

1 can corn (or you can use 2 cans instead of mexicorn)

1-2 cans black beans

2 cans rotel

6 chicken breasts

1 package taco seasoning

1 small jar mild salsa

Drain and empty all cans into a crock pot. Place chicken breasts on top. Sprinkle taco seasoning over the chicken and pour salsa over that. Cook on high for 6 hours. Shred chicken at the end and place back in the mixture. Serve with chips or tortilla shells with cheese and sour cream.
