12_24_2012 Christmas Eve Dinner at the house with Friends

We are enjoying being home for the holidays with no rushed schedule. We decided to have a holiday meal and invited or friends Mark C and Chris S over. The menu was yummy! I made a turkey breast (opened package, put in oven), some green bean casserole (yum), stuffing (yum - though I think it ended up a bit dry - boo). Dave made some yummy mashed potatoes. And I opened (grueling) cans of cranberries.

You've seen Mark in the blog before - he renovated our downstairs bath and entry way while I 'assisted'. :) Plus, he is a great climbing partner and just general awesome person. Mark brought some really delicious dessert bread (devoured) and some sparkling beverages.

Chris S is a former student and all around interesting guy. You may have seen him before as he built a "tiny house" and has made a very cool documentary about it. Really nice to learn he was in town (he lives in Boulder and NYC) so he could join us. Chris brought a still-warm apple pie and some delicious red wine. We enjoyed a good meal and some fun videos after dinner. Thanks to everyone for making it a really good time! Free Blog Counter
