Christmas Eve

We hosted another fabulous Christmas Eve dinner this year.  I had insisted on making a full turkey dinner (with all the sides) this year and about half way through all the prep, thought next year a nice lasagna would be so much easier (and creates a lot less dishes).
It has been really nice these last few years to have my parents over to celebrate the holidays, especially since having kids.  I really like that the kids get to be at home, opening their gifts, and falling asleep in their beds.  But most of all, I really appreciate having my parents together to celebrate the holidays, especially since I have very few memories of my parents together from childhood.  So next year, lets keep my new tradition going!
