We had a lovely dinner on Christmas Eve!
The Hydes have a strong tradition of dining together often, with all the fine china and the rest of the works! We are lucky to eat with them each Sunday and many holidays, as they live just 25 minutes away.

Danny's mom, Anne
Danny's dad, Mark
Danny's brother (no. 6 of 7), David. He is single!
Mark's uncle, John.He was kind enough to put up with a very loud and chaotic dinner! During this short 30 minutes, the kids' table fell over when a wobbly leg collapsed, I spilled Sophie's food tray all over the rug, one of the brothers spilled their water on the table, and I dropped and broke the glass salmon serving dish, also all over the rug!
Danny's brother, Scott (no. 2 of 7) and his pretty wife, Karen
Come on, Danny! Be a good sport and SMILE!
Sophie and the cheeser
Other big cheesers: Melia, Lulu, Jackson, and Ellie
Danny and I got to be Mary and Joseph this year. Mark made the barn look and smell really nice and Anne took care of the planning. Unfortunately, the chickens and rooster were even more irreverant during our nativity than the kids and I had been at Christmas dinner! They had to be held first, then taken out.
Melia was the angel, Lulu and Ellie were the wisemen, and Jackson was the shepherd.

Beautiful! THAT is the kind of REAL Christmas Eve dinner that Parents magazine needs to grace its pages :) I am sorry to hear it was so chaotic..but at the same time I am dying laughing :)
I didn't see this one until now. I love the nativity in the stable, such a wonderful tradition. Melia really is an angel!
It was fun to see some of the Hyde's. Each one of you is so beautiful!
