We had a big day yesterday. About 190 people attended our annual Christmas Open House. Thanks to all who came. We so enjoyed seeing you, meeting first time guests, and enjoying the holiday spirit with everyone! Next post is about that!
Our younger son and his wife are here from Seattle, Washington. They will visit until Wednesday, then head to her parents’ home for a few days, before flying back to Seattle. Yesterday all five of our children and their families were here at the same time. I love it when we can all gather together. This evening we plan to have a gift exchange with our son and his wife while they are here. So everyone will be back again this evening. Love this time of year!
The menu has to be planned with some consideration of the week’s events. This should take care of it.

The baked Ziti looks amazing (and pretty simple too). I have pinned it to try in the New Year!
Thanks for sharing!
Lauren, thanks so much for checking in and for leaving a comment. I plan to write the post about the Open House today. We’ve been very busy! Merry Christmas to you! ~~Rhonda
Melissa, thanks for visiting and for leaving a comment on my blog. I hope you give the ziti a try. It’s a great dish for family supper or a potluck dinner. Goes together quickly and everyone seems to like it. You can add mushrooms, meat, veggies…whatever makes your fam happy. 🙂 ~~Rhonda
