Christmas 2012

Christmas was a nice quiet affair this year!!  It was at my sister and brother-in-law's house in Parma.  The participants were my brother-in-law Mike Schabel, his wife Maggie, my sister Kathleen, my brother Joe, and my niece Mandy!

We had roast beef, cheesy scalloped potatoes, two types of mixed vegetables ("Traditional" as you might find in a can, and California Medley), glazed carrots, baked beans with sausage, sweet potato fries, sausage-cheese puffs, and pineapple with honeydew(?)!  The food was tasty for the most part! 

The appetizers were broccoli, carrots, and celery with dip!  There may have been various peppers included in the tray!  There was also Colby Jack cheese!

Dessert consisted of Peanut Butter Fudge, mint pretzels, a Chex Party Mix, Pretzel, and M&M concoction known as white trash, and homemade cookies!  The first three items were made by Mandy!  The cookies came from Maggie!  Since we all received a plate of cookies to take home, I did not try any of the cookies at the celebration!

We then relaxed until we all left the party after a few hours of merriment!  The party was nice despite the downside of having a bad cough that I hope will disappear soon!  I can't wait for next year!

I am now going to enjoy some leftover Chicken Lo Mein and Lima beans from my Sunday dinner.

Merry Christmas, Everyone!
