Two aunts are named FraniscA (on on each side). THEN two grandkids out of the many are named FranciscO and two are named FranciscA. Seriously... <br /> Like Ruthy's family, they use a lot of nicknames. I didn't even know a lot of them had the same name for years because I thought their nickname was their given name.Mary Jane Hathawayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17996627730074514978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-17674750979589684102015-12-17T23:26:19.723-05:002015-12-17T23:26:19.723-05:00I love that table setting!

And I think I set it there myself. <br /><br />sigh.... :)<br /><br />Don't use a substitute chili. It's not that I'm a chili fancier, it's that Skyline chili isn't like any other chili. It's not like chili at all and it won't taste anything like this.<br /><br />Now I'm wondering if our hot sauces at burger joints are all just open cans of Skyline chili! <br /><br />#smartRuth Logan Hernehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11550734775151341968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-22128416662458093352015-12-17T14:26:30.084-05:002015-12-17T14:26:30.084-05:00The kids love this tradition and they'd like b...The kids love this tradition and they'd like baby Jesus out all year, warming him.

My virtual attendance through the Yankee Belle Cafe is becoming a new tradition :) Thanks for inviting us!<br /><br />The Skyline chili dip looks fabulous. I haven't seen Skyline chili in our stores, but I'll look for it. I wonder if Amazon carries it? Hmmm....<br /><br />And I love the way your family grows. A third generation of Sean! I love it when family names are used again and again...except when I'm trying to work on genealogy. One of my ancestors is Christian Yoder. He had a son and grandson named Christian Yoder, and a cousin, and an uncle. Let's just say it's a genealogical nightmare!Jan Drexlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05609332074458434806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-75729006992009071812015-12-17T10:33:34.937-05:002015-12-17T10:33:34.937-05:00I'm fangirling over the punch.

Thanks, Ruthy!<br /><br />I never make dip but I should. I don't eat chips at all so I don't think of it until I'm having a party or invited to a potluck and if I bring the chip and dip it's always premade dip.<br /><br />Love the lining the manager tradition. Great way to focus children on the real meaning of Christmas. <br />Kavhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03719229222267994577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-68209048167095207492015-12-17T09:16:43.727-05:002015-12-17T09:16:43.727-05:00Yum-o!!
