a peek into Christmas Eve....


Christmas Eve at Benjamin and Ashley's house! 12 of the 16 kids were there, and 4 spouses, 4 of the six grandchildren. We sang songs, Margaret played the guitar. We played scattergories, and a special Jeopardy game that Evelyn made. She also did a hilarious slideshow. There were meatballs and sausage, homemade breadsticks and corn chowder, bacon wrapped venison meatloaf (Paul, who else?), and those little yummy hotdogs wrapped in dough. Cheese platters and chicken wing dip and spinach dip and cookies and fudge and and and. I am behaving myself this season though. I stayed clear of the sugar, but did sample some Samuel Adams Winter Collection beers. We opened four, and between five or six of us, sampled them. I preferred the chocolate, but all of it was good. Then when we got back here last night, I did have a little bit of wine. It was a delicious one from Cayuga Lake.


Evelyn, Sonja, Me...

Kids are waking up, so...Merry Christmas!!!!
