The tree was almost finished when Pete made the comment to me, "Do you remember when most of the decorations use to be on the bottom half of the tree?" I laughed as I looked at the tree..... "YUP, and now look, they are some on the bottom half and lots on the middle & top! A sure sign that the kids are getting bigger!" 
This is Austin's year to put the angel on top....... yes, we do keep track, and next year is Audrey's turn! :)
Here's the family favorite part of the day! FOOD... and a good movie! This year we watched "Holiday Inn" with Fred Astaire & Bing Crosby. The old classic black & white was fun for most of us..... Austin got the good sport award! 
Menu: Seafood Chowder (clam & crab), Chicken Cordon-bleu Chowder, BBQ Kelbasa, fruit plate, chips & dip, salsa & taco dip with tortilla chips, artichoke dip, crackers & cheese and a bit of chocolate ... to drink we had pomegranate/cranberry juice and raspberry ginger ale! YUMMY!

Oh, I'm SO stealing this tradition! That table looked so inviting, and it sounds like a wonderful memory-making event. I definitely must have a recipe for the Chicken Cordon Bleu Chowder and the artichoke dip!
