On Saturday night we hosted our annual Christmas dinner with our dear friends, The Rectors, Simmons and Brazeals. We look forward to this night every year....it's one of our favorite Christmas traditions!
I think this is the 3rd time in over 6 years that I've used my china and Waterford! For dinner I served homemade lasagna (a family recipe from a friend), Caesar salad and garlic bread. I made spinach artichoke dip from the Our Best Bites Cookbook for an appetizer and this for dessert. Everything turned out great!
Our gift exchange is always so fun! Our limit is $20 so we have to be a little creative! I had Elizabeth...
Josh had Chris...
Chris had Karen...
Marina had BJ...
BJ had Jordan...
Karen had Marina...
Jordan had Josh...
And Elizabeth had me...

I can't find the pictures from 2007, when we first started this tradition in our little one bedroom apartment in Dallas...it was pre-blog. :(
