On Sunday, we had our extended family over for our annual Christmas dinner. We switched it up a little this year and instead of having prime rib, Lance grilled steaks on the charcoal grill. I think it was a little bit of a challenge for him to get 20 steaks to fit and cook them like he wanted but everything turned out GREAT! We also had Casa salad, cheesy potatoes, green bean casserole, biscuits, cheesecake and brownies. I really appreciate all the other goodies everyone brought to share. Amy, those buckeyes were YUMMY! (Ask me about my attempt to make them on Monday? Not so great...LOL!) Anyway, Lance and I LOVE entertaining and having people over, especially family:) We LOVE you all so much!!!
Before dinner, us girls (Eva, Mindy, Ashely, Angela, Lorelle, Lilyan and I) went to see the musical Annie at the Wagon Wheel. It was CUTE. Boy, do we have some talented singers/actors around here?! Lorelle especially liked it and I had to shush her a few times from joining in on the singing too loudly. She TOTALLY wants to be up there on stage! Thank you SO much Lancaster Family for the show tickets:) We were surprised to be in the FRONT row too. You guys ROCK!!!
