Christmas was so much fun! This year we gathered at my parents home and ate: Chicken milanesas, mashed potatoes, smoked turkey, rice and beans (of course), salad and other sides. I made desserts my famous Christmas Lemon Raspberry Trifle (because I only make it for Christmas), jello and coconut pudding. Then after mingling and eating what I could, the kids had a white elephant gift. We adults, all 25 of us, also had a white elephant gift exchange. It was hilarious! Starting with Lilia's translation of everyone picking a present and getting naked! Below are some of the pictures.

My mother, an adult woman fighting the family for the Friendship Bread that Lauralie (behind her in the white sweater) made. It was shameless and the funniest thing I have seen in years!
