On Sunday we hosted Christmas at our house for my dad's side of the family. Twenty-two people for dinner and for once in a long time, we had all of the "original" parents and children present. We always have so much fun when we get together and the best part is watching the little kids run around and giggle and open their presents. My sister helped me cook and serve and that was lovely, because it is a lot of prep work, etc. We always set out appetizers and then have dinner a couple hours later which was cabernet braised short ribs and Swedish meatballs. After dinner, the kids set up a Kids Club upstairs where they offered pampering massages and spa treatments. I took them up on the foot rub as I had been on my feet all day and they were killing me. Great tradition! We like to end the night with a "year in review" of each family's year and a group picture. My favorite is generally the silly picture. What a bunch of goofballs!
Merry Christmas!
