Christmas Eve fondue is one of my family's favorite traditions....
This is our set-up
Marinated Meats (and its hard not to notice all the other traditional fryer-foods like mozzarella sticks, tater tots, jalapeno poppers, etc that my brothers have incorporated into the dinner over the years)
Spear meats with fondue fork and place in hot oil! (The kids sit at a separate table and it will be a few years yet before they are able to fondue their own foods)
The process is lengthy and the kids were impatient waiting for the adults to finish so they could open presents! Here are a few other photos from the night
The kids had a wonderful Christmas and enjoyed all the gifts they got. We got the kids each two sets of nice warm, soft Carter's PJs and I think they really liked them... they wore them home that night :)
They even enjoyed Chocolate fondue in their Pjs!
PS I wasn't sure if our Christmas Eve get together was even going to happen this year since local meteorologists were predicting the "Storm of the Century" with 30 inches or so to fall over Christmas. We ended up getting only 8" and the roads were fairly clear and drivable (although slippery)on Christmas Eve but still bad on Christmas Day. I hope weather didn't postpone Christmas for others, I know weather was bad all over this year!
What a fun family tradition! I am so glad that everyone was able to get together and celebrate despite the poor forecast!
