Christmas Eve with Steve and Ron

For years, Steve and Ron co-organized a Christmas Eve dinner gathering at Ruth's Chris Steakhouse in downtown Minneapolis. We try to go whenever we're in town on the 24th -- it's always a blast.

Here, we have to tease Lukas a bit. He took the initiative to order wine on his own -- shocking! -- because he didn't realize that ordering the wine is usually "assigned" to someone at the table. Sounds goofy, and it was, but we laughed really hard. This is the moment that the table behind us started shooting us dirty looks. :)

Mason can't believe that the waiter didn't pour him any wine! (Maybe we were racous enough, already?) The table behind us continues to have less fun than we are having.

Barb, Rob and Steve.

Steve finishes the last of the good wine, which Allen and I had previously succeeded in hiding from him.

Merry Christmas!
