This holiday season was even more fraught than usual, what with a complicated meeting planned for the very last days before Christmas--well, well, I blew off the last day and rushed home to my dear family! And we partied like 1999! And then I jetted off to Los Angeles the day AFTER Christmas, to visit my new grandson. Returning in time to join my colleagues at work for a festive holiday lunch on Friday the 4th. Whew. Just saying. Having composed an elaborate schedule and spent the required hours baking and freezing, I was able to feed the assembled hordes, and our festive Christmas Eve party went very well--my darling grandson genial and full of good cheer, welcoming one and all to admire his trains and enjoy the cookies. |
As usual, we had a grand Christmas dinner at Daniel and Claire's--Many pictures here! |
