This year I didn't make food assignments. I didn't worry about when people would arrive. I didn't stress that there wouldn't be enough food. I just relaxed and let things go their own way.
It was GREAT! The house was mostly clean and the day was only slightly overcast.
Chris and Matt showed up first. They brought cake. Lorie and the boys were next and Lorie made cheesy (funeral) potatoes. Bill came with the pound cake and macaroni salad. Beth appeared later with the cookies.
We had burgers and chips and mac salad, and potatoes, and lots of desserts.
We talked, laughed, and reminisced. We missed the ones who couldn't be with us. Those whose day had to be spent somewhere else, and those who we know were there in spirit.
We laughed at Ben's shadow on the wall. His despicable me pose.
and we enjoyed watching the little girls rock out to Rock Band.
We played and talked until the little ones were worn out.
It was a great day in my book. Just a great day!
