Christmas Dinner 2013

We are looking forward to Christmas again this year! We fill the house with 11 people and eat and tear open presents....and eat and eat! We like to try new dishes, but we've had some fabulous ones in the past couple years that keep making the cut. Why mess with a good thing, right?

This is also our last Christmas in Jacksonville Beach. After we pack up and move to Illinois, who knows where we'll be celebrating next year! So, we're going to enjoy the 60+ degree weather at Christmas until we can't stand it anymore!
