Our year to host!

Last weekend we hosted the Miller-Rinas Christmas get together with Steve's family.  We had 28 people for dinner Saturday night and 40 people throughout the day and evening on Sunday.  Overall it went really well.  The big family tradition is a ping pong tournament (where almost everyone participates-even those of us who are lousy players) so our garage turned into a rec room with 2 tables to accommodate the games.  Steve was the reigning champ heading into the tournament but he lost in the final game to his cousin Nathan.  (Yeah, I know! I didn't know he could lose either!)  
The best part for me was that in the midst of total chaos, late nights, lots of people, tons of sugar and no routine, Eli decided that he wanted to start using the potty!  It was certainly not MY timing and he isn't 100% trained yet but we are well on our way.



Nathan-this year's champion!






The trophy presentation

We took out furniture and rearranged what we had to accommodate everyone.
