December 23-25

Randy spent Saturday smoking four racks of baby back ribs while Auntie Aki and I prepped for Sunday's dinner.
Christmas Eve was ushered in with freezing rain and snow which made for treacherous driving. Randy smoked two more racks of ribs. We rounded out our meal with Marcia's mac and cheese, collard greens & cookies, Diana's clam dip, Dave's carrot cake and my slaw & corn pudding. There was plenty of food since 6 out of 15 guests canceled due to the weather. ❄️
Monday morning we braved the slick streets to celebrate Christmas day at Sharon and Larry's, my in laws. Sharon made a delicious breakfast casserole. We opened gifts, played cards and enjoyed family time.
Christmas dinner was back at Aki and Kay's. A seafood feast of Marcia's steamer clams & crab cakes and Sally's caesar salad before ending the night with 3 rousing games of 5 crowns. 🎄Lue lisää
