Cheng Family Christmas


The family holiday meal is a massive feast held annually at Da Uncle's home. As in most years, extended family are brought along to add a little variety to the festivities. The food tends to be an amazingly eclectic combination of dishes. This year included roast beef, ham, yams, mashed potatoes, cellophane noodles and plain noodles, a shrimp and mushroom dish, quiche, carrots, and some other things I skipped over. Dessert included chocolate birthday cake (we have a lot of December birthdays in the family) and Grace's famous flan. The collection of small children keeps growing (Kai is the newbie this year), and some of the children are not so small anymore! After most of the families with kids went home, Hunter brought out his cello to play a few selections for the hardy few remaining. I wrapped up the evening with a personal slideshow of 3 Uncle and Aunt's photos from their Egypt trip, which were amazing.
