Do all roads lead to Illinois? They did this week. What do you get when you have a holiday in Dundee? Food, and more food. Cookies, and more cookies. Kids, and more kids. Presents, and more presents. Getting the idea. A lot of fun.
Claire came home and has treated us to a veggie chili made with yellow squash and all kinds of stuff. Then, Christmas morning, homemade spinach and cheese quiche with rolls, then chocolate covered pretzels and cookies. A rib roast, mahi mahi fillet and racks of lamb, with Billy's signature creamed spinach, and roasted beans and asparagus. Livin' the dream. And, of course, leftovers.
Daniel treated Mom and Dad and Grandma to super haircuts. Quite the treat for Grandma. Daniel is starting to get back on the guitar so we are waiting for some homemade music, too. Claire had a successful December school concert, which she said went well. We know a lot of work goes into those things, even with other teachers involved. Quite a feat when it is only her.
Had Billy and Jen and clan for Christmas eve bash. Brought back memories of long ago with small children. Lots of laughter, drama, excitement and singing! Auden got a karioke player. Lots of singing. Even Elliot chimed in.
Lur was in charge of home decorations, and she did a great job. A wonderful tree and many Santas all over. Kids were in heaven.
It is 50 degrees here. The weather outside is not frightful. Great dog walks and outdoor activities. But we know it is coming. What did Pop say? Winter is good, because spring is not far behind. Time to order the seeds!
Hope all is well! Hugs from Dundee!
