Tonight Allison and I went to Christine and Marc’s annual Christmas Party. It was really fun to get to meet my friend Megan’s fiance Rob. We talked with them for quite a while about Aruba because they are going to the same place that we went to on our honeymoon for their honeymoon. As always the food was fantastic at Christine and Marc’s. We could only stay for a little while because we were double booked last night.

On our way to our second party we picked up some items that Allison had ordered through Southern Home Living at a party she went to with our friend Rondi. We swung by their house, confused and excited Stephen, their dog, and then continued on to party #2.

The second party was at Amy And Ryan’s. We brought a little something for Mason but he was already asleep. I got him a Fisher Price Little People set and Allison got him some Muppet Babies Magic Marker Books. I’m sure he’ll get a kick out of both. Amy and Ryan had a couple of beautiful nativity sets and the Fisher Price one too. So the photo today is the Fisher Price Set. The bonus is one of the more adult sets.

Family Tradition

The tradition in our family each year is for all of the women to make meat pies. Everyone used to get together at my grandmother’s house and make meat pies there. Now the tradition has shifted over to my mother’s house. Mom, Allison and Ellen, Donna and Carissa are over today working on the meat pies. That is a huge container of meat that will soon be filled with mountains of potatoes. I love our family made meat pies. I didn’t used to like them as a kid but I really like them now. I can’t wait to have one.

I had a piece for lunch and it was great. I think they are going to make something like 24 pies.
