Christmas Dinner ...

Stuffing the Turkey
Dec. 25,  2011

After lunch ...
and everyone went outside ...
I snuck downstairs to prepare the turkeys ...
to be put into two ovens ...
as well as continuing with making the side dishes ...
for our dinner ...

Nathan was on a beer run for the guys ...
out by the shop ...
driving his lawn tractor onto the deck to get his supply ...
that was being stored outside ...
I snapped a picture of all of them by the skating ...
before calling them in for dinner ...

Everyone was starving when they came in from an afternoon of fun ...
the twins were dressed in their Christmas outfits ..
with so many of us ... it had to be a Buffet Style dinner ...
we did manage to all sit down in the kitchen and dining room area ...
for a delicious meal ...
after Mike had said the Christmas Blessing ...
Grateful for this time of year ...
spending it with dear friends and family ...

It's been awhile ...
that Nathan was the first to jump up and start with the dishes ...
had to stop what I was doing and take this picture ...
after our meal ...
kids when off to play ... 
while the adults sat at the table to play games ...
before we were ready to have dessert ...

Once the kitchen was cleaned up ...
and the kids all tucked into bed ...
the gang  (minus a few of us) ...
 decided to go out to the shop for Scotch & Cigars ...

It was a very Merry Christmas ... !!!
