Christmas Evening


We had our normal Christmas dinner at our house. It is always so much fun to have everyone over. I am not sure why we don't see everyone more during the year since we all live within miles of each other but for some reason Christmas dinner seems to be the time to get together.
Megan and Alex waiting for everyone to arrive. I am taking pictures because I am so on top of it this year that everything is done and we are just watching the clock.
It is 5:00 p.m. and everyone is here right on time to eat. Oh, we have a problem. I was so with it that my turkey said it was done at 4:00 so I turned it down to keep it warm and went on with my day. Well, at 5:00 when Mike went to cut it it was not even close to being done. Oops. That would be my fault. The good news is that we ate more of the appetizers than normal and it made everyone really hungry by the time the turkey was actually finished. :)
Sandy and Leighton. She is just so cute and it was her 6 month birthday. Luckily she just eats rice cereal so she got to eat on time!!!!!!
Bill and Aaron looking for some pre-dinner snacks.
So darn cute.......
Oh yeah, It is 6:30 and we are finally eating dinner. I think everyone was starving.
Brianne and Phil. Rest time after all of that turkey.
Megan was so excited to get to play with Leighton. She just loves babies!!!!!
We had another great Christmas and even though dinner was so late I think everyone had fun. I had to send dessert home though since it was bed time by the time we finished eating.
Thanks to everyone for coming and Merry Christmas!!!!!!!

Of course it was fun! And delicious too! Nobody minded that we were able to eat a few more snacks! Thanks for always hosting...and thank goodness you didn't mention the veggie tray... :)

Dinner was great! Of course I'm sure I put on a few extra pounds from all the snacks I ate! I don't seem to know how to push myself away from the table in a timely fashion-ha! Kidding aside, Thanks for all you do to keep all of us together at the holidays!

OH Bri, I didn't want everyone to know that we were missing a veggie tray. We had veggie chips so that was good enough. :)
Sandy, We love having everyone over so it is always fun. I am positive I put on a few pounds also. I had to send all of the cookies to Spokane with Mike. :)
