Our Family Christmas Lunch – The Food

Sunday, December 8

By Saturday evening the tables were set and prepared for 37 people.

The table for mocha punch, water, sodas, lemonade and garden tea.

Jade (and her momma) rang the dinner bell at 12:30 pm to get everyone’s attention.

Kristen, Tucker and Jere went first – mostly because everyone else was still visiting in the garage. πŸ™‚

Chris, Hezekiah, Nathaniel, Lydia, Hannah, and Roy.

Grandpa Mark held Jasmine while her parents (Nathaniel and Abby) got their food.

Jasmine, Mark, Jeff, Jared, Jesse, Gloria, Austin, Heze, Hannah, Anthony, Abby.

I try to keep the meal simple so no one has to bring anything. I prepare/buy ingredients for a taco salad with lots of other choices so there is something for everyone.

Cerwin and I have this dinner in early December so most of our family can attend. With boy friends and girl friends, we could total 42 people. We were pleased that 37 could come, but missed the 5 who were not here.

The dessert side bar. The cupcakes and whoopie pies were baked by our niece Amy Rohrer – Amy’s Mixing Bowl, LLC. She also made the dinner rolls.

More in my next post.
