On the Sunday after Thanksgiving, my family gets together to make the dinner we will eat together on Christmas. Maultaschen are german ravioli made with homemade dough and filled with a beef, spinach, & onion/parsley. Yummy! Not only do we make enough for Christmas dinner, but also enough for everyone to eat at home once or twice. We use 10lbs of meat!
This was at least the third year that we got together to make the meal and everyone has their assigned jobs. (It is actually written down the receipe what each of our roles are!). This year, we were missing two key helpers, Adam & my cousin Amy and we had more non-helpers than participants. The weather was perfect for letting the kids run around outside and my uncle gave tractor rides, which were a big hit!
