Family Christmas Dinner

So blessed to have our whole family home for Christmas ~ our four daughters, our two sons, our four sons-in-law, and our nine grandkids - 21 in all!  And, also so blessed to have my 90 year-old father, and my husband's older (single) brother join us - making 23 altogether! A full house - filled with the sweetest people in the world. :-)

Our two oldest granddaughters did a great job setting our big table!

Working together getting the food ready for 23 people ... our oldest son, and youngest daughter!

Beautiful - family in the kitchen ...

Sweet photo - love this! A granddaughter, two daughters, and our youngest son!

Gathering around the big table - nineteen of us ... and four more grandkids close by to the right of the table ...

My husband sharing some Christmas devotional thoughts before we start ...

So special to all be together - sharing around our table.

Luke and Levi (both 9), Ali (4), and Brianna (5) - having fun at their own special little table.

Ham, Mashed Potatoes & Gravy, Dressing, Green Beans, two salads, and dinner rolls.

Lots to clean up!  And dividing out some left-overs for the four bachelors in the family ...

Posing with the four best daughters in the world - love having them home, and helping in the kitchen!

Our delicious Christmas goody spread ...

More photos to come ...
