Christmas fun

Sangria, lasagna and presents, oh my! Andrea, Mandy & Cameron, and Erik & Ari came over for Christmas eve. A Christmas Story was on and on and on so we caught a little bit of that to end the night.

Christmas day had Andrea and I lounging on the couch all day watching tv and sipping on mimosas. For dinner we broiled a very tasty (and expensive!) piece of salmon.

Vacation starts! Gnocchi-making

I pretty much ran out of the office to start vacation. We get the time between now and New Year's off :-)

That evening I met up with Heather for gnocchi-making. We both had mushy results the first time we made gnocchi so we were eager to try again. Once the gnocchi started popping up to the top of the water we knew we had success. Yummy yummy!

Naughty White Elephant

Kim and Brian hosted a dirty white elephant party in her new house in Woodland. We made special gingerbread cookies before the other guests arrived.

I thought the best gifts of the night were the jingle jugs and the pop-up sex book!

Alameda Antique Fair

I met Mandy at the old airstrip in Alameda on a cold and early Sunday morning. There had to be well over 300 booths to explore. The rows numbered all the way from A to BB. My find of the day were blue cowgirl boots!

Laser Eyes

Kevin joined the Laser Eye Club with Todd this week. Because Kevin had a bumpy cornea he couldn't get lasik surgery and had to get the PRK version which has a slightly longer healing process. The pain has lessened now and his vision is getting better and better everyday!
