Meal Plans for Christmas

We'll add 6 more adults (4 men!) to our dinners, so my refrigerator is more full than it's ever been in preparation :) Before our family arrives, we'll enjoy a quiet Christmas here, and have a big breakfast to celebrate, complete with a birthday cake for baby Jesus as Moriah's insisted! These are the plans...
