Christmas Dinner

Hi every one it has been so long since I've posted something, and it is not because i am not cooking, but i am always running doing things or getting the kids ready for bed an now that we are PCSing so soon it will be even worse. So many things to do and so little time to do them. So here I am posting our Christmas Eve's dinner that we had with my parents and a friend, Rachel. It turned out to be a nice dinner and a good time while we waited to exchange gifts. Good food and good company is always the best combination. Well, Merry Christmas to all the good friends, to the whole world and to our soldiers away from their families!!

With love your Italian friend Dolly...
