A whirlwind of activity with all of our children and their children plus AinA's English boyfriend from Amsterdam. No where near a representative sample of the festivities but at least a smattering

Christamas Eve Buffet
With the Chicago contingent flying in on Christamas Eve and all the bad weather around the country, we opted for food we could just put out and have people eat as they so desired.
Here is our spread of Spanish cured ham and salamis. On the top of the counter is the homemade pate I made that turned out great.

Those cinnamon buns also look caramely and pecan-ish and delicious! And the homemade pizza? What's on the non-traditional half? It all looks awesome!
It took me two days to get around to looking at my computer again. But, when I did, I read and re-read your last comment. I LOVED IT. I also read it aloud to my husband.
Thank you. I think somehow you reached through the screen and "read" all I didn't write (but thought about writing) in that post. My little family spends SO MUCH TIME together and I LOVE it. I know that big changes are coming... **sob, LOL**
Wishing you and yours a very happy New Year! (Stay tuned...I'm going to do something CRAZY this coming weekend. **laughing**)
Terri - the "non-traditional" toppings are actually mushrooms, onions and spinach.
Ok Beth - you are totally going to have to post what all this craziness you're planning on the blog :)
