Christmas Day

Christmas day we went down to Mik's bother Jim's house for our traditional Christmas dinner and present exchange.  Mik is cooking prime rib and asparagus on the Traegers.  Like last night, everyone brought their favorite appetizers or dessert, so we had plenty to snack on before dinner.

   As usual, Mik's prime rib turned out great, talk about tender, it melted in your mouth!

Bev is working on twice baked potatoes, James and I looked at the size of them, we split one and each took half.

James, Vera and I waiting to open presents.

Jim and Kim had a beautiful tree and many unusual decorations around the house, in this picture, the kids have been passing out the gifts and we are getting ready to open them.

Our hosts, Jim and Kim.

When we left, James was ready to head home also, so Vera rode with him in the Maxima to be his licensed driver, she was really proud of him, he went right up their driveway with out any trouble.  Debbie had to work today and Josh was visiting his grandmother, so they could not make it to Jim and Kim's.  After following James home and picking up Vera, we stopped at their house to give them their presents.  I took this picture of their tree with my phone and the next thing I knew Google + had added twinkling lights to it, so I sent Debbie a copy.  It was good to get home after two big days.
