Christmas Eve finally arrived and Ryder was ready to get the show on the road but the girls had other plans that required more sleep.
The presents were all wrapped, treats were made, and everyone was hungry. Time for lunch and tradition speaks loud and clear for Chinese food at Dave's insistence.
China Palace was the destination for a family style dinner. Our waitress didn't speak English very well so when I ordered Dinner A for 3 people she countered that there were 5 of us. Yes, there are 5 of us but we will only eat enough for 3 and the kids would only eat a little bit. She wrote down for 5, smiled, and walked away. Dave & I looked at each other and crossed our fingers that all would turn out ok.
Nope!!!! She returned with enough food to feed a family of 10. 2 large platters of each dish for a total of 8 platters. 10 minutes passed and she came back to our table and gave me a weak smile and said dinner for 3 would have been plenty.

| Nice clear night with a full moon to brighten the way. |

| Christmas cookies Begging & pleading for everyone to frost them. When that doesn't work a few threats do the trick. |

| Christmas puzzle Who's idea was it to get a 500 piece puzzle that didn't fit together. |
