First Presidio Christmas

Nothing says Christmas like guys playing video games! We have a tradition in our house where I buy Forrest and video game or two for Christmas and then he sits and plays it non-stop for about a week until he finishes the game... then he doesn't play until the next Christmas... In recent years, my brother has joined the fold and one year stayed for 72 straight hours. This year, we were able to fold Mr. Ireland into the xbox fold.

Ruthberg putting the finishing touches on one of the two christmas tables.. below is Sam chatting it up with Chelsea's parents and my dad. This year we had my parents, Forrest's parents, Chelsea's parents, Chelsea, Sam, Molly, Mike and Geer (one of Sam's friends) over for Christmas dinner... we had lots of fun prepping a prime rib feast for 13 adults and 1 munchkin.
YAY Molly emo and Uncle Mike at our house for Christmas (what I hope is just the beginning of a tradition)!!!
two men...two generations...one 16 pound prime rib. Forrest was getting some tips from big Forrest on prime rib cutting techniques. As man of the house it was his duty to cut the meat, but his dad had some pointers for him with his years of prime rib/turkey/ham carving experience :)

big bottles of vino - courtesy of emo/uncle mike... we went potluck style so each person contributed something to the overall meal.. it was the most perfect christmas meal + company + party ever...and Donut's glow in the dark skeleton pajamas were pretty rad too.
