Christmas 2008

We had a great Christmas!  

My in-laws came to our house for Christmas Eve.   For the past couple of years I have been doing a prime rib for dinner and I decided to keep that tradition this year as well.  The roast cooked faster than the time outlined in the cookbook but my trusty meat thermometer helped me avoid a cooking tragedy.  The rest of the meal was rounded out with double-stuffed baked potatoes, carrots and string beans - plus my mother-in-law's famous bread braid.  After dinner we opened the presents from and to the in-laws.  

On Christmas Day we went to my parents house in Portsmouth.   The menu was an Italian feast - lasagna, chicken cutlets, antipasto - all delicious!  

Here are pictures from Christmas Day taken with my new camera - (Yes, George got me a new digital camera that is small enough to easily fit in my purse!)

Benny listening to a story told by Big Grandma.  Benny has his new Nerf gun in hand and is wearing his safety goggles!

Ahhh - the magic of Christmas!

Star Wars Legos - can it get any better?  Notice Aunt Liz's snazzy shoes!
