Simple and minimal this year.

December Holidays

I had Christmas Day dinner and New Year's Day dinner at Barney and Dorothy's. For Christmas dinner, Dot fixed a ham, scalloped potatoes and a green bean casserole (da best!). For New Year's dinner, I brought turkey, sweet potatoes and baked potatoes all cooked in crock pots.

Dot and I think we will make a tradition out of my cooking and her setting the table for the first dinner of the new year.

Christmas 2.10

After waiting a year to get together to open presents, we gathered Dec. 23 for Christmas 2.10 (two Christmases in 2010). Some presents were a bit outdated, such as Russell Stover creams from 2009 and calendars for 2010; but items such as martini glasses, vodka and $$$ didn't suffer from Christmas lag. And, several gifts were new, including a red robe that was a last minute find after a 14 month search.
