Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve this year was full of many great things.  The first of which was the most delicious Christmas Eve dinner I have ever had.  Literally.  My dad smoked ribs and beef tenderloin and we had a full arrangement of delicious sides, loaded baked potatoes, fresh green beans (my new favorite), John's homemade bbq sauce, homemade rolls and on and on. We ate until we were sufficiently stuffed.  And then we had the big Welch Family Christmas program that Syd does with the kids the years the entire family gathers for Christmas.  This year was a Jeopardy theme full of musical presentations and fabulous trivia.  If I recall the boys won.  Bummer.


After the group festivities we headed home for pj's.  A reading of "Twas the night before Christmas" and a watching of the story of the birth of Christ.  It was a lovely night.
