Christmas Dinner

We had Christmas dinner at my house again this year. It was fun. The boys played with various trucks and games and watched some movies. The adults - as always - seem to hang out in the kitchen and gab.

It was a nice afternoon/evening.

Progressive Dinner

My friends coordinated a progressive dinner to celebrate the holidays. So we all gathered at one house around 4:30 on Saturday and started with some cocktails, stuffed mushrooms, and brie. All very tasty food. And what a great way to gather with friends.
From there we went across the street for dinner - lasagna, salad, garlic bread... There was an all veggie lasagna that was Great! I will have to keep that in mind for the future.
And speaking of great food --- at the next house there was this death by chocolate trifle thing. I don't know all that was in it - chocolate cake, whipped cream, heath bar??? I had a few servings...
Overall a good night.
As with Christmastown. There are pictures but they need downloading and editing....

Christmastown, USA


So my mom arrived on Friday. That evening I left work right on time and we turned around and got in the car headed for McAdenville. It didn't take too long to get there. I was concerned about the evening traffic and then the McAdenville traffic but it was all OK. I took some pictures - I need to not only download them but edit them. Maybe over the next few days I can get that done and post them.

Happy Thanksgiving

I have one picture that I know of from Thanksgiving. It is from a few years ago. I think it is from when I first moved in. Or maybe the second year. I am standing by the sink. My dad is at the island carving the turkey. I always think I should scan this. But then I always get distracted with - why did we not take more pics of Thanksgiving? I should remember to take pics this year. Gosh I miss my dad. And then the whole idea of scanning goes out the window.
This year, the same as last I went to my friends house for dinner. There were 5 adults, 4 kids and way too much food. We had a fire outside afterwards with the intent on sitting around the fire, having some drinks and I think there were marshmallows. But the whole thing didn't take off that much. Personally I was freezing.
My mom went to my aunt's house and saw some of the family there.
And Bacchus well he just hung out here. He did have leftover turkey this evening and is very thankful for Neil having sent it his way.
