Fondue on Christmas Eve

Hi dear friend...it was crazy but you and I are so lucky to have our families..I had a fantastic time..there were only 25 of us and 25 were missing but it was fun. My daughters and daughter in law did all the work..but mostly daughter Erin about worked her little self to death.
Do come visit us if you ever get back out to California and we will have dinner at the Mission Inn. :)
Hugs,
Mona
