*Sorry it's so late.
As has become the family tradition, Christmas dinner was hosted by Major Dad and DLG. MD is an amazing cook, and the menu for the day was equally amazing! In addition to a ham and prime rib, Linda and I added turkey with dressing and gravy. The table was so heavily laden with food that there was barely room for plates and silverware! I think everyone had a wonderful time! It was especially nice that Fr. Deo and Seminarian Mark were able to join us for the dinner. All in all, Christmas was awesome!
Just two days after Christmas we got to celebrate once again! This time it was H2FGFNW's (hereafter referred to as DIL3) birthday. Having already done the cupcake routine twice this month, we opted to go back to the Chantilly Berry Cake from Whole Foods. As always, a delicious hit!
Mid-week MD/DLG and family went to H-town to visit H1/DIL1 for New Years, as is their annual custom. Rumor has it that much fun was had and copious amounts of fireworks were set off! Since Notre Dame Seminary was shut down for the holidays we invited Mark to spend a few days with us, which he did. For New Year's Eve, Linda and I, Mark, H2 and DIL3 strolled up to the levee to watch the New Orleans fireworks. Although overcast, the fireworks show was still quite a display! We all had a great time, and welcomed the New Year with no hangovers (mostly).
As with much of the rest of the country we are having a very mild winter, with temperatures running in the upper seventies, then dropping down to near 30, then back to the 70s again. Great cold/flu weather!! Wishing everyone the happiest and most prosperous New Year!!!
