The Sunday before Christmas My SIL Debbie, (my brother drives a truck and usually is unable to come) and I get our families (this year Scott and I constituted our family) together at my step dad's house for a little Christmas party. We eat pizza and decorate gingerbread houses. My brother and SIL have the cutest grandkids and they have such a good time mostly eating the candies that go on the houses. But that's ok since Kyle and Meghan have to take them home on their sugar high and not me!!!
Courtney, Gavin,Meghan, Keesha, Deb and me.
On Monday
night Scott and I took the train to Salt Lake and met Scott's 2 sisters, nephew Curtis, his wife Niyi and their little boy Bennett. We enjoyed dinner together and went to see the Christmas lights at Temple Square. The lights are so beautiful and we had a great time inspite of the very cold weather.

Then Wednesday night, Christmas Eve, was our
traditional Italian dinner Scott's grandmother started many Christmas' ago. Dinner includes fish balls (anchovy and cod), fried fish, anchovy spaghetti, Gnocchi and salad (lot's of carbs!! but oh so yummy). We enjoy getting together and especially love the bingo game and prizes after the food is all cleaned up.
