Well..

 

Our family, within a 20 mile radius that is, had a very enjoyable Christmas at our home this year. We welcomed 10 ( + 2 kiddies ) for an evenings' worth of festivities.

 

The buffet style food bar included home-made enchiladas, deviled eggs ( compliments of Gina ), a terrific salad by Lee, kibbe ( by Pam ) and a few other assorted store-bought items.

 

Thankfully this year, there was no rain or wind. Yea!

 

I think everyone was happy with their gifts, especially the kids of course.

 

Annie was on her best behavior, outside of snapping a little at sudden movements. She was much better after being sequestered in a bedroom for a short while.

 

We had a nice time, and extend our best to all our friends and family for 2005.

 

Much love,    Rick, Pam &  Annie ( arf, arf )
