Five to five at Christmas Dinner today


We opened gifts and had a nice Christmas dinner today. Ten family members and guests gathered for Marcy's big homemade chicken and vegetable pot pies and other good stuff from the other ladies at our potluck dinner.
Marcy and Max made up a family crossword puzzle with clues that stumped a few of us. And Emily was patient and didn't act like a spoiled child under the tree, even though she received enough gifts to act like one.
Thanks to Nicklaus (who took the photo above), Hai, Dan, Max and Stan, the testosterone matched estrogen for the first time in our history of Christmas dinners. Birdie was called in to break the tie. (We discovered her helping herself to a loaf of poorly-positioned pumpkin bread.)
Below are the footsie jammies Missy and Emily requested from Santa for watching tv and hanging out on these chilly evenings. They're getting a trial run tonight.
