Our Italian Feast on Christmas Eve

Matt and I spent our first Christmas at home in Fairbanks this year after traveling during the holidays the last four years since I moved here. For Christmas Eve I prepared a delicious Italian feast that definitely turned out to be a success. It took us three hours to travel through the courses and we felt completely satisfied and not too full by the time we were finished. Manga!
