Terri Vrbancic, Amy Yersavich, and Wendy Yost, engaged in a little hangar flying in the dining room, just before the food lines get underway.

Myra Jamison, with her food plate piled high, gives the camera a big grin. Charma Huddy, Marilynn Miller, and others are clustered around the food in the background.

Clockwise around the kitchen table are George and Jann Bowne, Joanne Austin, Glenn Sproat, Tracy Hahn, Terri Vrbancic, Candy and Jerry Eichenberger.

Here's a view of the same kitchen-table group from the opposite side.

Did Charma Huddy think a photograph of her empty plate was that comical? Paula Hook and Wendy Yost pretend that they are indifferent about it, though. They want us to think they'd only had a single glass of punch all evening.

Amy Yersavich, Kevin and Mary Biller ate in the other corner of the living room, opposite the Biller's beautifully decorated Christmas tree.

The kids kept to themselves in the den.
