This year's make-up was almost completely different as we had two regular families out of town and some newbies to make up for it. And I just realized, no one at dinner was local... everyone came long distance to join us this year!! The Laughlins were in attendance as well as the Robertsons all the way from Indiana and the Massenas who live in Lincoln, IL. The Indy Laughlins were also supposed to come as they were headed home from holidays in Columbia, but ended up with a sickie so they bailed. We were expecting 10 adults and 10 kids, we ended up with 8 and 8, but if everyone who usually comes had been around it would have been more like 14 adults and 15 kids!! Crazy!
So. Dinner.
I'll leave it to the pictures...

The traditional Peppermint Pig
The whole gang for 2010...
(minus Savannah who went upstairs to read before lunch/dinner and fell asleep and missed the entire party. Ryan finally woke her up almost five hours later and yes, she had a fever that night. :( )
Malones and Swinigans we missed you guys! Happy New Year!!
And I know it's silly to say on, oh, the third of January, but I can't wait to start getting ready for next years' dinner! I love it!!
