How do you create a Christmas party that will be a memory forever? Well we tried blowing up the prime-rib! I think we were successful. You see, the prime rib wasn't getting cooked, even after 4 hours, so with only 2 hours until the party, Wayne decided to crank the oven to 400 for an hour to "jump start" things. Well, after about 30 minutes he decided the rib needed just a little water and then we could take off for bowling while it finished cooking. It is such a beautiful prime rib by the way and we used our "old Ephraims" prime rib rub! Yummy! Back to the events of the night. So when Wayne added just a little bit of water, the pyrex pan he was cooking in exploded! Big huge bang! Glass everywhere. So much for the lovely prime rib. You can see it in the picture next to the dust pan. Yikes! In spite of our rough start we recovered pretty well I think. We hurried to the store and bought tenderloins, bacon wrapped them and grilled them up. Karie had made the funeral potatoes and Jocelyn made a salad. Hayan brought the rolls. It was a great dinner, just a little behind schedule and the evening kind of messed up bowling. We exchanged gifts with Zach and Hayan since Hayan is leaving for Korea on the 16th. We watched "Better off Dead" a classic! Kids had a good time I think. Wayne cleaned to oven on Sunday (auto clean), filled the house with smoke. Don't know if it was because this was the first time we had used the self clean on our new ovens or what, the oven really wasn't that dirty. After we got the glass cleaned up that is.

It is about time I have been waiting for a new post. I am glad that you didn't leave out the prime rib experience. It will be a fun memory. All the pics turned out way cute.
