Ben's Grandma Ackers spent the afternoon and evening with us today.  For dinner, Jennifer made a casserole of sorts out of the Christmas left overs.  She lined the bottom of a 9x13 pan with mashed potatoes, added a layer of stuffing, and then placed sliced turkey over the top.  I think the left over gravy was added too, but I'm not sure where in the process.  She baked it in the oven, and we had a tasty meal.  

After dinner, the traditional Christmas poker game began.  In Grandma Ackers' Christmas card she wrote, "bring lots of money."  I attempted to play the first couple of years I was part of the family.  But, I just don't care for the game.  Last year I sat at the table and watched everyone else play.  This year, I sat at the table and read a book on my new Kindle:)  I enjoyed listening to the banter without the pressure of trying to remember what to do with each hand.
