I fixed a great deal of the meal ahead of time so yesterday was a no stress day. It was just wonderful and what holiday meals should be. We loved having Mac and Consuelo here with us. And of course, we loved having Cullen and Casey. Cullen's wife, DeAnne spent a week with her folks in Seattle. We missed having her here. She flew back last night so we sent her a nice care package home with Cullen and Casey.
Look at the head of hair on Ray and those skinny legs on me!!
