Holiday Fun

We tried something different for Christmas Eve this year--a "shepherd's dinner." Here's the spread of food--pita bread, meatballs, cheeses, tomatoes and cucumbers, hard boiled eggs, fruit, dates and almonds. (The olives, which would have been the most symbolic food on the table, were forgotten in the cupboard.)
We dressed up like shepherds and ate on blankets on the floor.

We even had a fake fire and a bleeting-sheep sound track in the background. Below, Megyn warms her hands over the christmas-light-and-tinsel embers.

After eating, we had a program of music and the reading of the Christmas story. It was fun, and just might be the start of a new tradition.

These next two pictures show what we've been doing since Christmas--puzzles and games. We've also been movie watching and eating too much.

Jeff tries to figure out a new board game we got called Power Grid. Looks complicated, doesn't it?
