We had a wonderful Christmas Day. The only thing that could have made it better would have been having Miki's family from Sweden and Lisa, George, and Sophie and Jeremy from Florida.
We started out with our traditional fondue meal, where we put two pots of hot oil in the middle of the table and each person fries his/her own food. The choices this year were beef, pork, and chicken breast cubes, chicken nuggets, and steak fries. (We've been doing this meal every Christmas since Miki was around 20 years old. It was her idea after the church youth group had done it.) Following the oil fondue we have cheese fondue with tortilla chips, crackers, etc. And the final course of the meal is the chocolate fondue with fruit, nuts, pretzels, and peanut butter graham crackers.
As we ate they were coming up with so many ingenious ideas of additions to the menu and improvements to the frying procedures that I told them next year I'll provide the place and the oil, and they can each bring whatever they want to dip into it!
A part of the day that I did not get any pictures of was when Anthony set up a video phone call with Lisa and George. We could see them on our computer screen and they could see us on theirs as we talked with each other. It was so much fun to hear how Sophie recognized us and called us by name as she saw us on the screen!
