Christmas Wrap Up

Dan's parents, brother David, and his girlfriend Jessica joined us at lunch for the rest of the holiday.  Sadly, the photos I took during gifts with Dan's family did not turn out great...they were blurry for some reason.  My flash was not wanting to work...I think my camera was in protest from all of the work it was doing throughout the holidays.

We spent most of our time on Christmas day visiting and taking the opportunity to get to know Jessica.  It was our first time to meet her.  She traveled from Hoboken, NJ so this was really a rare opportunity to get to know her.

That evening we enjoyed a special dinner of Prime rib and Yorkshire pudding which has become our tradition.  It was delicious and comes together with minimal effort which is really the key.

Jessica thoughtfully offered to take a photo with Dan in it as well.  You'll notice Kaitlin is next to Jessica...she was quite delighted to have another girl in the house!

The next day we enjoyed a leisurely morning together before Dan's family left for Richland.  We finished up the puzzle and took a celebratory photo.

Merry Christmas!

I have to say for me, it was the best Christmas ever in the past 4 years.
