Food with Friends

On Christmas Day evening, my sister gathered family and friends for a special dinner.  We started  with oysters, some raw on half shell and some grilled.

The table is set.

Electrical work was traded for a huge prime rib, and we family and friends reaped the benefits. 

Family and friends filled the dining room.

After dinner we had a little fun marking our heights on the unfinished beam in the new kitchen.  Notice Elsie is just below Gail.  I wonder where she'll be next year?
