Our Christmas

The last several years we have a tradition of going to Mass and then going to dinner with some of our neighbor friends to Ruffino's.

The food was delicious as usual - crabmeat cheesecake, veal Michael, a wedge salad, wine, white chocolate bread pudding,  but our service was not good.

After dinner we all go home, put on our pajama's & head to our Christmas Eve pj party 2 houses down.

Almost the whole crew. We play the white elephant game, have some drinks & cookies & laugh  A LOT!

 

Christmas morning Dean was up bright & early to cook his seafood gumbo. My contribution to this years gumbo was 2.5 hours of my Christmas Eve that I spent peeling & deveining shrimp!

Logan got a Scooter for Christmas

 

We grazed all day. There was way too much food but it was so good! Gumbo, ham, potato salad, crawfish pie, crab pie, deviled eggs, spinach dip, meatballs, pinwheels, rice dressing, rolls, cream cheese & pepper jelly. Not to mention the pies, cake, cookies & candy. All that for 15 people.

 

We took a break from food long to open gifts.

 

 

 

 

 

Once all the gifts were opened a rousing game of baseball happened.
