The Night Before Christmas

Even though our out-of-town guests did not make it (Mom and Corey were stuck in Portland due to severe snow and ice conditions) Erin was able to help us celebrate. I made dinner for Christmas Eve (all my favorites), Shrimp Salad, Ham, Artichoke and Parmesan Stuffing, Mashed Potatoes and Green Bean Casserole. However, I did make half and quarter sized portions since there were only three adults and two children.

Jack, Erin, Doug and Will all ready to dig in.

Ready for Santa and for bed!
