Christmas Eve Dinner

We shared our Christmas with Justin, David, Mike, Selinda & Dallin Bryant, Jeremy, Teresa, Michelle, William & Elizabeth Duncan. We set up a cooking schedule and everyone took turns cooking dinners and sometimes breakfasts. Jeremy and Teresa really outdid themselves with a Christmas Eve feast featuring among other things buffalo, pheasant, two kinds of salads, five kinds of pies and two desserts!

We found sleeping accommodations for everyone and not a creature was stirring until Grandpa John woke everybody up at 6:30 by playing Christmas music. Sara had just went to bed at 2:00 am because she was making a Christmas casserole for breakfast!

We all had fun playing with our new toys and games. The rest of the week was spent playing video and board games, 4-wheeling in the snow on wood hill, playing at the new Dino-Mine adventure park, assembling three puzzles, and watching movies.

Sara was enlisted by the young mothers to try and set up a portrait studio in her bedroom and living room to take portraits of the grand kids. She recently got a new Sony A100 camera and is having fun learning how to use it.
