We were up early this morning having our coffee in front of the fireplace while we opened our presents and empty our stockings. They are stuffed so full and everything is wrapped, so it is a lot of fun. We ate a light breakfast and sat and visited enjoying the moment together. About 11:30 we left for Portland to Cindy and Erik's house for Christmas dinner. We bring the prime rib which Kent is the Chef and Sharon is his assistant. Dee Dee makes the best gravy, Cindy the twice baked potatoes and Maralyn makes the best deserts ever. Cindy is a great hostess, she has the whole house decorated so beautiful and she really knows how to set a gorgeous dining table. We did our gift exchange with the girls and the kids before the rest of the dinner guest arrived. We are taking a cruise together in March to the Panama Canal, so that was a lot of our conversation and fun. What a great time we all have together and so much food and snacks we all ate. I think there will be several of us dieting before the cruise. Again we realize how blessed our family is every time we are together having so much fun. (pictures)
