December 26, 2011 Smith Family Christmas

Today my family gathered for the food orgy that is Christmas dinner. All of us did our part to help the obesity level of Pottawatomie County and are glad we did.

Turkey, mashed potatoes and gravy were my contributions. CB peeled and mashed the potatoes - I must give credit where credit is due!

Mom baked a ham and rolls and opened some kind of cranberry something that was pretty tasty. She also had several pies and tons of cookies.

Baby brought Brookville Corn.

Brother got in the way.

After lunch, we gave Momma our gifts. Can I just say that shopping for an 82 year old has its challenges? Momma was suitably pleased as all 3 children stepped up with presents; none of this "one gift from all of us" business this year.

If Mom still lived in Dodge City, next it would have been time to do yard work.

But she doesn't live in Dodge City, she lives in Wamego. Next was nap time.

Thank goodness. Eating that much and laughing that hard can sure tire a girl out.
