Christmas at Marianne's

Rich's sister, Marianne, always hosts the family holiday celebration the weekend before Christmas. Saturday was the day! She goes to great lengths to make the day special for all of us from the beautifully set tables to her lovely tree and many other holiday decorations to the delicious meal.

The lovely tables...

The children's table is decorated too...

Her gorgeous tree...

Making pierogi for that many hearty appetites is no small feat...and that's only one dish. The final step in the making of pierogi...

Our nephews' kids really enjoy the party and we love spending time with them during the holidays...

Rich, Marianne,and their brother, Joe...

Joe and Carol's family...sons Rob & Dave; their wives Lisel & Kristen; and their children Sophie, Zoe, Nicholas, & Oliver...

Greg and Jenny were there...

as was I...forever behind the camera though, where I'm most at ease.
