On the eve of Christmas Eve we went to dinner at Dallas’ Aunt Laura’s house. Danny and Cory were there, too, as well as their doggies, Maggie and Zoe. Laura’s actual grandson, Hideto, hadn’t arrived yet from California, so the pooches got a lot of spoiling. Including new doggie beds by the fireplace at grandma’s house, a new dog bed for Maggie to bring home and a new shearling jacket for Zoe.
For dinner we had Aunt Laura’s special flank steak and some pork wontons. Dallas’ family’s dinners are always a mix of Asian and American cultures, so we also had edamame, kimchi, tofu, rice and deviled eggs.
After dinner we trimmed the tree, which was in such dire shape that I later learned that Danny and Laura went out the next day and bought a new one and started over. Still fun. We opened a few gifts also and then had coffee and tea and dessert.
A nice way to kick off the holiday weekend.
** Does anyone know what would be causing my camera to sometimes take photos like the one of Corie trimming the tree? I’ve also been having memory card errors where it will just show up as “corrupted data” instead of the photos.
