Christmas 2019

For the third year in a row we hosted Christmas at our house with a combined Sharp/Rainer clan. This year’s total was 27 people! The new kitchen vastly improved the experience for everyone – especially Dave and his mom, who did all of the cooking! Overall I feel like we’ve gotten the hang of things and it was less stressful to pull together. We had a quiet, low key Christmas eve at the house and a nice relaxing Christmas morning.

I call this the quite before the storm…
The dogs enjoyed themselves on Christmas morning – doing what they do best -sleeping. Benson got this toy snowman and carried it around with him all day. It was pretty cute.
The girls before present opening. The big present this year was a Nintendo switch, which Sophie had asked for and Lauren had not, so the reactions were pretty predictable.

Everyone arrived around 1 and dinner was served around 4. We do it buffet style in the kitchen with everyone sitting in the dining room and living room. We brought out a folding table right before it was time to eat for the overflow.

After dinner there was a lot of dessert, drinking, and opening presents.
