Christmas Catch-up

Sorry for the drastic rewind.......these are photos from Christmas Eve dinner at our house with the Portland family and special guest Aunt Elisa.  We held the now-traditional feast of seven (or more) fishes, and tried our best to top last year.  Becky brought over a heaping plate of beautiful little crab-stuffed peppers, I served a seared scallop on caviar-topped smoked salmon (3 fishes, one plate!), we had oysters, spaghetti and clams, and B baked fish in salt for the big finale.  Auntie M surprised her sister with some birthday pound cake, and the kids left cookies and milk out for Santa.
