diNNeR parTy

I always love Christmas Eve dinner. For some reason I have always been in charge of setting the table for this occasion and I just love it. We always use my parents "good" china. I can't wait for the day that I have that option. It makes the evening feel so special. I thought it was cute when my Grandma asked if she should go put her skirt on. I already know that when we have kids I will be making them wear dresses. We both love dressing up for the heck of it.
The menu:
cheese ball
poppy seed salad
prime rib
rolls
twice baked potatoes
corn
blueberry cheesecake

Love your family traditions. Everything looks so good and festive. I need to do a better job w/ making my gifts look better. That makes it so what's inside doesn't matter as much, right? I'm glad you got to spend so much time at home, and that you were able to come to the wedding and luncheon! It made me so happy to see you there. There's nothing quite like sitting in the temple and watching a huge portion of your extended family swarm in- knowing it was an effort for most to be there! Such a great feeling! So thank you!
