There was so much delicious food at the party! We all did a lot of cooking. There was so much mouth watering prime rib that my Uncle Frank brought from his restaurant. Grandma and Shirley baked three turkeys and three hams plus made a bunch of different salads. Mom, Steven and I made 30 lbs. of fluffy potato casserole and a huge ancene de pepe (?sp) salad. There was so much it was ridiculous. There was a crowd of 200 people to feed. Even with that, there were so many left overs!

What an awesome house! When I was younger, a house like that, decorated like that, was my ultimate dream house. How fun!
