Christmas Dinner

We had a lovely dinner Christmas eve--lots of food, family, and presents! But the dinner actually started the day before, as we prepped all sorts of dishes, including the buche de noel (the yule log):



To start, we enjoyed some nice appetizers with our champagne punch in the living room:


Isn't that lovely dinner table?

Apparently, I wasn't the only one to think so!

Assorted Cheeses

Gropius made crab cakes

Various ham and salami

Snow peas

Pork Tenderloin (I think I ate most of this!)

Yes, I think I did...

The Lovely and Talented Roland and Lisa


And we ended dinner with some lovely desserts!
