As you all know by now, we were not able to come home for Christmas due to my work schedule. However, we had a great Christmas here in Virginia. We spent the holiday with Richard's family. Sara, Tom, Leo, Josey and Luca are all here, just about 20-30 minutes from us. So we had good bargaining chips to get the rest of the family here for the holidays, and Maria, Stephen and Nana flew in to join us for the festivities.
Our family here in Virginia
We essentially had a four day eating festival, with intermingled rest periods filled with lots of family fun. On Christmas eve, Richard and I hosted lunch at our apartment, consisting of Shrimp Linguini followed by Baked Salmon with Veggie Lentils, and Hello Dolly's for dessert. Then we went out to Sara and Tom's for the traditional Christmas eve festivities, including Chicken salad sandwiches, velveeta cheese dip, and ambrosia.
Christmas day we had the whole traditional holiday feast complete with Turkey, dressing, cranberries, etc... We also enjoyed a day full of playing with the kids new toys.
Then the day after Christmas we were finally able to indulge in Sara's delicious lasanga!!! Thanks Sara!
We just had a great time spending some quality time with our family. We hope you all had a wonderful holiday, and we sincerely miss all of our friends and family back in TX, and hope we will be able to spend the holidays with you next year!
