On Saturday we decided we would have our families over for tree trimming and dinner. The plan was we would get up early, get the tree and then come home do dinner, guests arrive and decorate the tree. Well, as anyone knows plans are always open to change and our plan changed. We did a turkey for dinner...2 actually one in the oven and one on the BBQ. So that took priority getting the turkey in the oven, then there was tidying the house and early guest arrival and well I think you know where this is going...no time to get tree. But that's ok. We had a great time anyway. We had 20 people for dinner....Jeff's parent's, his 2 brothers and there families, his sister, my parent's, Grandma, Auntie Jean, Brenda and Unlce Robert. Talk about a full house. We didn't have enought room around the table so you had to sit where you fit. No complaints though. The turkeys turned out excellent. Dad's put in a request for a BBQ turkey for Christmas day at their place. The only one missing was Marlene, Sean and Aidan. Since Marlene works weekends they couldn't be there.
Everyone had a great time, lots of food, games and cheer!
Sorry no pics I forgot to take some...
The only other thing I would do differently, besides take pics, is plan a little further ahead. I was busy a lot of the time in the kitchen so I didn't get to mingle with guests as much as I would have liked. I think I just found my New Year's Resolution...plan better...maybe I'll start with the wedding...
