holiday fun...

Holiday season always creates so many beautiful memories of the time spent with family and friends. Sharing some of them!

Thanksgiving


Mom has mastered the art of baking turkey for Thanksgiving and with each year they are getting better and better!



My pineapple upside-down cake


Our festive table


Our wonderful host




Birthday dinner



Having fun opening Derrick's Dad's Birthday gift :)








Christmas Eve Dinner


So peaceful.. at last



My rainbow trout came out pretty darn good!


Aioli potatoes


Stuffed mushrooms


And the table is ready






Traditional 12 dishes for Christmas Eve dinner represent 12 calendar months or 12 apostles. In our case, it is never just 12.




Sharing the bread of Christ.


Santa Claus visited us that night too! We all made it on the "nice" list!













Happy Holidays!
