The Feast

We arrived home from our hour-long journey from church and immediately set about the final preparations for the meal. My parents and two of my brothers came for the feast, and they helped. Mom scurried around the kitchen with me, finishing sauces and boiling potatoes, Dad stirred the punch, John made salad into art, and Joel took the burden of resting upon himself. (The girls had completely tuckered him out...)



Annika didn't let him recover for long, though.



And here's Luke, dutifully reading to Millie while she...sucks her toes?!???!?



And that's it! I took no pictures of our feast table, all spread with glass, green, and yellow, no pictures of the sizzling ham, and no pictures of the feasters themselves.
It was yummy. Let this list stand in for snapshots:

Spiced Honey Ham
Sour Cherry Sauce
Roasted Garlic & Sour Cream Mashed Potatoes

I did take a few pictures of leftovers, though, which can be found You Know Where.
