Merry Christmas!



Hope everyone had a great day. We were very busy. Last night we had a huge feast with our good friends Mairanne and Dominick. Dominick's parents and grandmother cooked a delicious Christmas Eve fish dinner complete with four pound lobsters that were DELICIOUS! Even Paul ate some. We tasted homemade wine and ate and ate until all our sides hurt. When we got home we opened our presents since we wouldn't have time on Christmas and the dogs had as much fun opening theirs as we did ours. Tom really got into the idea of stepping on the paper and ripping it to find a ball or toy or cookies. Now I am sure I am going to find ripped packaging all over the house. I better be careful. Christmas Day was very busy and we started off at my parents house with my sister and Kevin for brunch. It took so long to open presents. There were so many. All the dogs got so spoiled too. Paul and I cooked and it was nice to leave the mess behind! Sorry mom. I am sure Jeanine didn't hold up on her end of her the deal to do the dishes, but at least the food was great! My sister and Kevin headed up to Kevin's family and we then headed over to Paul's parents to celebrate Christmas there with his family. We had a great day and the prime rib dinner was delicious. (The ribs the next day were even better.) We opened presents and then when Paul Jr. arrived we opened more presents. After a brief hiatus we switched into birthday mode to celebrate my mother in law, Christine's, birthday. Paul's aunt and uncle and cousin came to celebrate too along with his cousin Michelle and family from Kentucky. Finally after yummy cookies, cakes and what else, more presents, it was time to pack it up for the day. We had to peel the dogs off the carpet they were so tired!

Love the slide show. And the new song that plays now throughout viewing the page! And by the way, I loaded the first round of the dishwasher, I sort of held up my end of the bargain!
