Christmas Dinner...Italian style


The youngest kids get to open first...



The older kids opening gifts


Davian's 1st Birthday is tomorrow....where has the year gone?

The oldest boys being silly

and now Me & Crissy are being silly...


Then around 4:30 we headed towards my Dad & Cathy's for a non-traditional Italian style dinner. Cathy made a shrimp scampi/fettuccine dish and bought a spinach & a meat lasagna from her friend Tina that owns Milano Inn Downtown. They also threw in a salad and some yummy rolls. Of course she still had tons of desserts and appetizers. All I can say about the spread is WOW! Plenty of leftovers for all of us too!
This year since there are 13 grandkids and it can be a little crazy...we decided to do the gift opening in groups. Young ones first, big kids, and then the adults. That seemed to go over much better as far as enjoying watching everyone open without total caos. Thanks for all the lovely gifts and great times! Not to mention the last stop of the night and having a few cocktails waiting! We love you and always have a blast!
