Christmas Dinner With Friends

We had a great gathering today at Hardy and Judy's house. Our group expanded. We had all the regulars plus Bob and La Done and Randy. We are very thankful for all our friends. They are our RGV family.

Convivial group

Tables and more tables: always room for one more

Did I mention that Jean brought the fixings for beer floats?

This is my first experience with making one of my favorite desserts, tiramisu. It was definitely a hit.

After dinner some of us went for a walk around the neighborhood. Bob Wills, Bob Boyink, and Sandy walked around the Bobolink loop. Jean, La Done, Ken and I walked around more before heading back in. After some of the folks left, the rest of us played cards. It was a really nice get together. Thanks to Hardy and Judy for opening up their home and to all the cooks for the delicious food.

We finally got around to taking some photos of our Christmas decorations.
