Nineteen people for dinner! Before we ate, we passed around piles of gifts and and the two baby boys.

The roast beef turned out so yummy - my best ever, I think. I used McCormick rotisserie chicken seasoning and a smidgen of steak sauce. The chicken breast was delicious, too, fillets wrapped around a mixture of ricotta cheese, cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, basil pesto seasoning, minced garlic, and chopped tomato. My adult daughters brought most of the side dishes and desserts.

Some of the most photogenic
presents I received this year...
 |
| A votive candle holder from my sister-in-law Sue |
 |
| A Christmas angel with cardinals by artist Jim Shore, from my sister-in-law Dana (The cardinals remind me so much of my mother. I bought a cardinal ornament this year because of that!) |
 |
| A bird pin from my sister Barb (bought from SERRV - fair-trade, handmade), and a purple scarf from my dad and my (brand new) step mom Anny |
 |
| A decorative dish from my daughter Mary - she knew I'd love the sentiment |
 |
| A journal with colorful pages from my daughter Julia |
 |
| A calendar from my husband |
 |
| A Christmas sunset from God |
I hope you've had a happy Christmas!
