Hubby and I had dinner with friends on Friday evening to celebrate my birthday. I was fussed over and spoiled. Saturday evening we went to the Black Forest to celebrate my brother's 50th birthday. On Sunday Hubby and I hosted the Dykstra Christmas party.
Whew, I think I need a diet and a nap!
For the party on Sunday I found old pictures of our Christmas parties, starting in 1958, and some pictures of our grandparents before that time, which I used as centerpieces. We had a good time looking at the old pictures. I never knew I looked like my Grandma Clara until it was pointed out to me yesterday.
I didn't get any photos of the kids yesterday because they were busy playing and hitting the Christmas goodies table.
We saw pictures with Cranberry Fluff on the table from many years ago. Our menu is the same every year. Turkey, ham, meatballs, potato casseroles, cranberry fluff, hot vegetables, fruit trays, veggie trays and rolls. For dessert everyone brings Christmas goodies including ollie bollen, almond tarts, cookies and bars.
If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
Today I am going to complete my Christmas shopping, drink a lot of Emergen C, and go to two parties!
Tomorrow Sam and Max come home for Christmas, providing Snoqualmie Pass stays open and Max can drive over the pass. It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!
