immediate family christmas dinner. a wonderful evening, with good food drink and people. out at ocean aire in minneapolis. having an impossibly long dinner (is this what they do in europe) with ma pa bro and sis. drinks, appetizers, wine, dinner, drinks, dessert, coffee. we retired back to the house and treated my parents to all 600 or so pictures from our trip. what a fantastic night!

christmas day! spent the snowy day at aunt mona and uncle mike’s place in chaska. back home, using the pa’s espresso machine to fire myself up a shot to go in the espresso martini he doesn’t know he’s making me yet. but i am sure it will be delicious. i drink and eat so well at home.

wednesday 12.23.09

i’m home! with my girls! my MG7 (well, MG6 since we are sans sarah this evening). eating a delicious dinner made by ann at her and michelle’s place. shallon telling her ‘best thing of 2009’. we all shared, in turn, our happiest memories of 2009. and this moment was definitely high on the list for me. the pre-christmas eve snow storm cut out evening a bit short, but we certainly packed all our happiness in the brief time together!
