Christmas 2010

This year was a first for the way that we celebrated the holiday. No Christmas eve at Debbie or Karen's house, but rather, dinner at Marinella's in Glen Ellyn with Jenna, Neil, Lisa, Gabriel, Vincent and Gramma. It was an early dinner and then a rather quiet evening preparing for the Christmas meal that was to follow the next day. There were 22 for dinner, including the little ones, and then four more joined us afterward. Ham, mostaccioli, meatballs, potato casserole, broccoli and salad was served along with too many desserts, including delicious homemade pumpkin pie (thanks to Lisa) and cookies. A card game followed dinner...It was all very enjoyable!
