Usick family Christmas in Winnipeg

Well my mom outdid herself again with Christmas eve dinner. We hardly made a dent in the food, even after we all filled our plates.
It was a wonderful evening spent with family.
Here are some pictures. As you can see my nieces and nephew are beautiful kids. In the picture with the kids in front of the tree, Jessie (age 6) is on the left and Breanna (age 14) in the middle and Jordan (age 14) on the right.
Christmas day David and I returned for pault, a traditional Swedish dish. Dave promptly passed out after eating three piggy helpings.
