We enjoyed a dinner of prime ribs at John and Noreen's house.
Life in the 2000s always includes smartphones.
Jamie is wearing a shirt I gave him as a gift. There are cookies on the table that Noreen makes that we all really love! They are made with powdered sugar on top and a real treat that only shows up on holidays.Our Christmas Eves aren't as busy as they used to be, when more of Katherine's friends joined us. But we keep up with our traditions. There is always scungilli for dinner and really good shrimp from Catfish Annie's. Mike actually had to buy it a week early because they couldn't get help to fill orders and had to close up the week before Christmas!
The kids always want Cranberry Meatballs and Bacon-Brown Sugar Crackers. Soooo good! I actually made way too much food and ended putting a lot in the freezer.
Megan brought this stuff called "Million Dollar Dip" which I specifically requested after she made it last year. I ate the leftovers all week long.
So this year, it was just me and Mike, the four kids, Megan and Katherine's boyfriend, Andrew. And we all really enjoyed ourselves.
