Christmas Dinner

Today was my very first time making my own holiday meal. We filled our house with 12 people (4 of us, 4 of the Pfeils, a couple who lives next door- the husband goes to the language school, and 2 friends from Chiba (Kevin had been the wife's English teacher last time we were here- they now live nearby)). We bought a ham and prepared various American dishes and had a grand time. It was a lot of fun, and nice to be able to spend time with people nearby that we love! The kids did not really eat anything- but nothing new there.
