Let the eating begin!

We had such a fun weekend with my mom, my siblings and their spouses in cache valley over the last weekend.  My sister Mary Ann hosted us at her lovely home for dinner Friday night.  Saturday I got to go shopping with my sister Carol and find some fun things for her home.  Saturday afternoon we went to the home of my big brother Gary and he and his wife Nancy served us an outstanding Christmas dinner.  My mom was actually the hostess (it is HER annual Christmas party, make no mistake) but this year we went to Gary's to enjoy dinner together.  He is a master cook.  Seriously, he and Nancy are such good cooks and they treated us to a lovely meal.  Five USU students entertained us afterwards with some lovely Christmas music.  It was so fun to get together with all my siblings (minus Paul and DeNae) and enjoyed the company of one another.  I love my family and we enjoyed reminiscing about Christmases past.  Many people shared their time and talents with us.  How will you share The Gift?
