Since the group is so small I didn't want to cook a lot of dishes, but still want a good variety and be relatively simple since the toddler is mine and will want some mommy time.

Mashed potatoes or potato salad, baked beans, green bean casserole, corn are a few easy sides that come to mind.

I would make scalloped potatoes, a nice salad and some dinner rolls. The potatoes or a potato side dish would be simple enough. A salad is also quick. And as far as the rolls go you could just buy those from a near by bakery. That would be really simple! Maybe you could also make something with jello for the toddler to enjoy. But the toodler should be able to eat some of the other food. Unless, he or she is still pretty young.

Some mashed potatoes and a green bean casserole would be good and is quick and simple to make. We always have applesauce with ham too, no cooking required!

We always have pineapple slices on the ham. For vegetables,
mashed potatoes, sweet potatoe or squash, peas and carrots.
Any comination of the above with the potatoe. Its up to you. I f you're having dessert buy a pie or whip up a pudding. Again it depends on how far you want to go with it.

Mashed potatoes and pickles like onions or gherkins, sounds odd but is delicious with ham and mash.
Or roasted potatoes, served with broccoli and cauliflower with grated cheese over the top, pop that under the grill til the cheese melts and bubbles.

Sweet Potato Casserole is a must with baked ham.
