Christmas Eve Dinner 2025

Our Christmas Eve dinner was wonderful again. Becky made some fabulous braciole as usual. Things were a little different this year because Dave and Donna went to NYC for Christmas with Jim and Cassie and were not here. Mary did come and we had Val for dinner too. 

Of course Katie, Todd and the kids were here and so were Dick and Iris. Katie and the kids had been in town for several days but were staying downtown at the hotel because Todd's brother and his family were also in Buffalo for the holiday and would be for a couple more days before flying to Boston to spend time with Rachel's family. So we also invited them to dinner. That made ten people at the main table and five at the kid's table. The kids really liked hanging out with their cousins from California.

The dinner was delicious and everyone enjoyed the braciole and pasta. And also of course the wonderful cookies Becky and Katie made.

Earlier this week we had a Hanukkah dinner at the Schifeling's with Jeremy and Rachel and their two kids Ruby and Hannah. So it was nice to spend more time with them and have them over at our house. They really wanted to try the braciole too.
