…the Christmas Karaoke Choir?

Our host, “Hot Rod Lincoln” Russ and our hostess, “Harley Chick Karen”:

What a great afternoon we had! It was such a treat to be surrounded with children, from a sweet two-year old to happy teenagers. I even met a young man who has a room full of ribbons from winning tractor-pull competitions!  “Someone” hid Russ’s favorite Italian cookies (baked specially for him by his sister-in-law), the brined turkey was delicious and there was even a “kids table” (bring back memories, anyone?????).  Chocolate cream pie turned out to be the most popular dessert, but Chad’s apple pie was a close second.

Chocolate!Cousins!Gorgeous table.Santa brought a new cookbook.Santa’s Helper.  Don’t you love the dress????!!!!

Thank you, everyone, for making us feel so welcome.  It was our first Christmas without one of our boys coming home for the holidays, so we really appreciated being part of your family for the day!!!!

p.s.  Karen really is a Harley chick.
