Christmas Eve Dinner with the Family

by kristengz on January 4, 2011

It was great having some time off over the holidays to spend with both mine and Dane’s family. This time of togetherness always means some great gatherings and plenty of food to go around.

One thing my sisters and I haven’t outgrown yet (and probably never will at this point) is being silly at the table. It drives my mom nuts, but it was Christmas Eve and we don’t get to spend nearly enough time together with them being in NY and me in Boston.

Normal dinner night at our house. And yes, that's a salt shaker made out of a Corona bottle.

I made panko crusted chicken with a pink sauce, along with garlic bread. It’s my mom’s favorite and somehow our fun at the other end of the table seemed to go unnoticed…

Grandma and Grandpa took the attention off of us

Even my cutie pie niece enjoyed her “magetti”. That’s two year-old for spaghetti, for those of you who don’t speak fluent toddler.

Lovin' it.

We might be getting older, but I’m pretty sure the scene at dinner will always look something like this.

And that's my dad joining in on the fun with the bunny ears on my sister.

I guess with faces like these, you just can’t stay mad for too long. Even after 20-something years of joking around at the dinner table. Love you Mama Bear!

Jenna and Abby. My beautiful sister and beautiful niece!

What’s it like at your dinner table over the holidays? Hope you all had as much fun as we did!
