With temps in the mid-70's, we had a picnic brunch with friends on Christmas Eve, complete with strawberry shortcakes that Rocky made from scratch with freshly picked berries.
We had another brunch on Christmas day with a different group of friends (and introduced them to the glory that is Ro-Tel dip), featuring pancakes, crispy potatoes, and bacon cooked on the grill. And The Squidd tried his hand at cricket. In the evening, we went to the park and splashed around in the wading pools there. All in all, a nice weekend. Hope yours was, too.
Next up: New Year's!

Did Santa leave you a form letter? No name?
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice note from Santa. He must've really enjoyed the snack. Sounds like a wonderful Christmas.
ReplyDelete@Kaiser McFabella: Form letter--I love it! No, I just edited the photo to remove names in an attempt to maintain a bit of blog anonymity. Probably not necessary, but there you go ;)
