Last weekend we hosted our second annual Christmas dinner for our families. It’s a great time to get together and celebrate the season before the actual holiday. Its fun to get both our sides all under one roof and share a meal, I don’t think this has happened since our wedding 5 years ago.

It took us a couple of weeks (okay months) to settle on a menu, but I think we really knocked it out of the park this year.

I forgot to take pictures of the carrots and salad, or any of the people who attended the event. We were so busy cooking, visiting, and making sure everyone was fed that I set my phone down and was glad I was able to get the photos I did. We served about 22 family members, and are looking forward to doing it again next year (even if it took all day Sunday to recover).
