Christmas lunch at my grandparents' house in Sugar Land included a group of 20 this year! There was Grandma and Grandpa Jones, The Readings: Aunt Carol, Ben, Marcus, Lee and Nick (Banchetti), Carol's friend, Sarah, The Kerkstras: Aunt Debi, Jill, and boyfriend Chris, The Hamelins: Bruce, Beverly, Laura, Leslie, and The Johnsons- party of four (1/2), and Uncle Doug. We enjoyed another great smoked turkey, ham, dressing, sweet potatoes, green bean casserole, salad, fruit, etc... and many, many delicious desserts! Good thing I'm pregnant so I have an excuse to be gaining all of this weight!
We did our annual gift exchange, where you can open a gift, or steal one that has already been opened. It's always interesting to see what people end up wi
th! The price limit this year was $25, and I ended up with a Pampered Chef food chopper. Steve got a utility knife and a hands-free flashlight you can wear on your head.

I'm not sure how much longer everyone will be able to keep this tradition alive. The family continues to grow and the grandkids are starting their own families. It's also quite a large group to feed and host! But, it's been nice that we have been able to keep getting together during the holidays for this long!
