18 of Us

We had a CHRISTmas party tonight on my wife's side. 18 of us, with ham, swedish meatballs, brocolli  salad, cheesy potatoes, and too many desserts to name. Yummy.

Instead of buying presents for everyone, last year we starting doing "white elephant" gits. I got a nice hat and scarf. I'm SOOO glad I didn't get the belly dancing outfit and CD that my son-in-law got. Or, the fruit-cake that my sister-in-law got (even though I like them.)

We set up downstairs for a group picture. After a couple of nice smile shots...I said..."Now, do something silly."

This is that, and I'm the old guy in front.

HO, HO, HO,...5 days to go!!!
