A Million Little Pieces Of My Mind

2003's Christmas Dinner was a relatively small affair. For those of you who missed it, here's what we all looked like.

Zachary was still jazzed over all the presents, and the fact that it wasn't over yet—the guests were bringing more.

In fact, he couldn't wait to open them and bugged us until we agreed it was "time".

Which is not to say there weren't a few presents left over for the rest of us!

Then came time for the meal. Michael served up plate after plate, and diners served themselves. The menu: Roast Turkey, and Roast Beef, and Roast Ham! Plus stuffing, cheesy-garlic mashed potatoes, corn on the cob, asparagus, creamed onions…and that doesn't even get to dessert: Apple and pumpkin pies, pumpkin mousse, ice cream, and several plates of homemade Christmas cookies!

Granted, actually eating all that food had its challenges…!
