The Holidays

I haven't written since my birthday, I tried to but for one thing or another I ended up not doing it. So I will write about what we did for Christmas sand then later on I will do my yearly recap :)

Lizzie came over the 23rd late at night, bringing goodies she baked herself. I just finished the last truffle yum! Christmas Eve I took M to dialysis and she went to pick up Sandy and family at the LB airport.I love it when we are all together! I cooked macarrones and we also had a greek salad. Before that, of course, they had to have In'n'Out. They were all tired so after talking and drinking a little, it was bedtime.

Christmas morning was all about opening presents since Santa came to visit us :). We all were pleased with our gifts. I got a lovely sweater from Sandy and house shoes, Lizzie gave me a nice garden light with 3 flowers, very pretty, also a nice frame. Of course there were more things but it takes too long to name everything for everybody. Even Lulu got some gifts.

After opening presents, I cooked breakfast bacon, sausage and waffles, and got started on  dinner. Jeff came in the afternoon. For dinner we had a cheese tray, nuts, assorted cold meats with crackers, then Catalan soup and breaded pork , and of course several desserts. And Cava.

This is a long post!

Friday was picture day!!! I will write more about it later. It was fun! Thank you girls!!!
In the afternoon Marvin's family came. Marvin made chili and Jeff made  pork loin sliders. Yummy! We had a very nice time, having all the family together.
