Merry Christmas
Well, I really should have this all in the album section but since I get to do whatever I want I'm going to put it here. Well, on the 24th Hagen, Margaret, and I celebrated Christmas since Margaret has to work on Christmas. So, for the first time ever I opened presents a day early. As you can see there were lots of folks sending things from out of town and the three of us also managed to rustle up some interesting things:
... Looking at some instuctions ...
... The dogs were enjoying themselves, too ...
... After the three of us opened up presents we went with Mel to John Aleperti's house for Christmas dinner and fun. Shrimp, fancy breads and cheeses was the main course and we wrapped things up with Chocolate fondue which was fun. Chocolate dipped baby carrots aren't really that bad tasting I learned.
... Aleperti made salsa but had an extra pepper. So, we whittled it down to the really hot part here which was dipped in the fondue for giggles to cover up the burning hot taste of the pepper.
... The bananas were to be for dipping in the chocolate but somehow they ended up being a lot on the green side. So, we kind of ended up playing with them.
... After leaving Aleperti's house we went over to Sam, Hagen's boss's house for a bonfire, cider and more food (grilled shishkabobs). It was nice to have a warm pallet fire with the air so cold.
... What Christmas eve isn't complete without a snow angel. Shortly after this Mel was seriously whitewashed by Hagen when he mistook her for me.
... Well, the evening was nice but the temperature today was frigid. Just Tuesday or Wenesday the temperature was right around freezing. Today, more like 30 below or colder.
So, that's our Christmas. It was pretty fun. I hope everyone else has a great Christmas day, too.
