December 21-25

Our long drive north to spend the holidays with family was uneventful. A little fog, a bit of wind, clear over the mountain passes.😊
We arrived at Auntie Aki and Uncle Kay's on Saturday, spent Sunday shopping for last minute gifts and food for Christmas Eve.
Monday Randy smoked six racks of baby back ribs while Aki, Kelsie and I readied the house for dinner. Marcia arrived with Mac and cheese, collard greens and nori rice crispy treats, Diana provided her clam dip, and Dave his famous carrot cake. A fabulous Christmas Eve of feasting, fellowship and cards. 🎄
Christmas morning was spent at Sharon and Larry's for a delicious brunch prepared by Sharon. We opened gifts, watched Kuma shred all the tissue paper and played 5 Crowns.
Christmas evening we headed back to Aki and Kay's for Marcia's fried razor clams (provided by cousin Sally), steamed clams and cockles, and Sally's caesar salad. 😋 More fierce competition at the card table ended our night.
Hoping all of our friends and family had a very Merry Christmas!Читать далее
