We spent Christmas Eve with Michael's family at his Mom's house. This is a very large group. Each family was to bring a hot dish and an appetizer and various other things. Usually everyone is assigned a specific dish to bring but we didn't do that this time so there ended up being three crockpots of meatballs. All of varying flavors, thankfully! There was plenty of food for sure. So, it was a meatball Christmas Eve! Those Saner girls sure can bake. This table is covered with goodies! Yum!
The battery in our camera died before I could get a picture of everyone there. I apologize for not getting at least one picture of everyone.
The Saner boys:Jeff, Kevin, Mike and Greg
They are in Dodie's garage standing in front of Greg's favorite work of art, a velvet painting of dogs playing pool. He is so cultured!

And as always Elmer and Bev are sorely missed.
Here are some of those cute boy cousins:Cole, Jackson, Ian and Sam
Ryder playing on his new Sesame Street drum set that Aunt Susie gave him. He would play a bit and then look at everyone and start clapping his hands to elicit our applause. We all happily obliged!
Ryder's daddy didn't like this (noisy) gift and is plotting how to get back at Susie for giving it to Ryder. Watch your back Susie.
Pretty Mollie with cute Ryder
Me with goofy Greg! We all had so much fun this night.
What a great family to be a part of.
Merry Christmas!
