Christmas past.....
25
Sun, 12-27-2009 - 8:16am

My family and I had a wonderful Christmas.  My parents, DD and DSonIL, and DS were here for the big meal.  I made a seafood casserole and shrimp Creole, rice, and a salad.  Dessert was rum cake (one of my girlfriends made it for me) and a chocolate cake (my Mom brought it).  Simple meal, but very tasty.


DD and DSIL are still in town (staying with *his* parents this time since they stayed with us at Thanksiving), but my parents left yesterday and are safely back in SC now.  We didn't see DS yesterday because he had to work.


Yesterday afternoon DH and I went over to DSonIL's parent's house for a little party.   They grilled oysters outside (yes, it was a bit cold, but not unbearable) and there were also ham sandwiches and salad (because some of us...me, for one... don't eat oysters).  There were probably 25 people there, many I hadn't seen since DD and DSIL's wedding in 2006....nice time and a fun thing to do on the day after Christmas.  Plus, DSIL's sister and her DH were are in town (they live in Dallas) with their new 6-week old baby,  so we got to see her.  Adorable, of course, as all babies are.


DD and DSIL will be coming over to our house for dinner tonight, and I'll invite DS also.  I'll fix some grilled chicken and side dishes.  Tomorrow, DD and hubby will drive back home to NC.


Have a wonderful day, everyone.  I'll be back later to do more catching up here.


Hugs......

LOL, BB. When I saw Pam's post, I wondered if I missed something. Wouldn't it be funny if it turns out Pam is "psychic"? You will be an awesome grandma when the time comes.--Pat

BB, our little guy was born the 15th so they are very close. They grow up way too fast.--Pat
