Starting with back row, left to right: Dan, Tom, Margey, Joey, Cayce, Beth, Katie, Jay (the goofy one!), Patience, Brian and Emma.How fortunate we were to all be together for one evening. Emma came from Ohio, Brian and Patience came from Illinois, Margey, Tom, and Beth came from Rancho Cucamonga, Cayce from Fullerton, and Jay and Joey from San Diego! We were also joined by Jay's girlfriend, Heidi and the two dogs Auggie and Danny. It was cramped with 12 people and two dogs in our tiny living and dining room.
We celebrated on Dec. 23rd and while we waited for Jay to get off work, we all sat around and played Taboo. It was great fun with Danny barking every time someone pushed the penalty buzzer. The good/bad news was that Auggie didn't bark, but that was because he is deaf!
Dinner was easy: Lemon chicken soup and Potato cheese soup, salad, and bread sticks.
We even used disposable bowls (which would have shocked my parents!). Clean-up was easy and off to gift opening. From a parental perspective it was wonderful to see our children, nieces, and nephews all grown up.
The good Lord has given us so many wonderful blessings this year! We have so much to be thankful for. May 2010 we a peaceful, safe, and blessed year for our world.
