Dad had the honor of grilling the steaks and lobster. Probably a little warmer down in the South rather than up grilling them in Minnesota!
Everything turned out delicious! We had steak, lobster, asparagus, twice baked potatoes and Mom's homemade rolls (that I successfully made:-)). The dogs were wishing they had a seat at the table!
Then came the opening of the gifts. Major and Molly were both excited about their new toys. They go crazy when they get new toys actually which always makes us laugh.
After opening gifts we watched "White Christmas," with Bing Crosby and Danny Kaye. Not a lot to do on a Christmas evening when you don't have any little children running around so you have to find other ways to entertain yourself. Of course, TV is always the fallback!
Then came Christmas morning and the opening of stockings. Once again, the puppies were anxiously awaiting their gifts. This time it was some yummy treats!
Dad and Mom had special stockings waiting for them that were filled with goodies - but of the human variety since we didn't think they would appreciate any dog treats!
Merry Christmas 2011! Hope yours was special too!

What a nice Christmas with your family! Love all the pictures.... and boy, does that steak and lobster dinner sound divine! Now I am craving twice baked potatoes. :) Looks like you had such a special time. White Christmas is one of my yearly favorites... I would love to see it on your ginormous TV someday! :) Everything is so much better on that TV. I'm sure Molly and Major loved the extra love and attention this year. :)
Thanks for posting these. LOVE to see pictures of your life in SC.
