Christmas Day Guests

On Christmas Day Lane and I invited our parents over for dinner. I made meatballs and potatoes (Grandma Ivy's recipe) and we had strawberry cheese cake for desert. Nothing too fancy or real healthy! It was nice to have our family over on Christmas, it made it feel more like the holidays. After dinner Lane got the cards out and played pinochle with Pat, Lonnie and Ardis. After a few hands mom and Pat switched spots. There were many fun stories told in between hands with lots of laughs. MaKena relaxed in the living room and watched her new Jake and the Neverland Pirates cartoon. I think she was a little worn out from the day. Jacob spent the day with his dad. It was a fun and relaxing Christmas day.

There must have been a funny story told as Pat and Lonnie are laughing. There were plenty of stories told that night. What a fun night!

Sure looks like a serious game going on.
