We had a great Christmas today! The company we keep:
Debby, Timothy, Tom, and me.
Today’s menu:
Roast beef cooked with potatoes and carrots (and gravy), along with fresh green beans, fresh broccoli, and rolls.
Dessert was Tom’s German chocolate birthday cake, which Anime (lower left) got absolutely none of.
Then came the frenzy of gift giving which I think left everyone happy. Of course, some of my gifts will show up here sooner or later. In the meantime, I owe a photo for the “snow” theme.
Since it isn’t snowing here (though we did get a lot of rain today), here’s a throwback photo of me bundled up in thermal underwear, jeans, a shirt, a hooded sweatshirt, and a jacket, in what is probably my favorite snow day memory with friends–except for later having that red VW surgically removed from my head. College was hard.
A certain Shitzu went exploring the chaos of ripped up papers and cheers, where upon she discovered a warm mug of brown liquid. Oh no you don’t! (That was my hot chocolate, which was rescued from a now terrified dog’s curiosity.)
That looks like a good place for a snowball fight, once you get that bug removed from your head.
It was the best snowball fight ever! We had so much freaking fun that day.
I’m glad the Shitzu didn’t get the hot chocolate. Dogs…
Mom made a turkey dinner, like Thanksgiving, but surrounded by removed torn papers and a dog that now knows not to sip from my hot chocolate before even trying to do so. It was a genuine and delicious turkey dinner, complete with nap.
Nothing like a mom-made turkey dinner. We also have a few turkey dinner mishaps in the family history, and those memories are just as good as the ones when everything went right. And the naps are as good as the cranberry sauce. =)
