Christmas Festivities At Our House ............

and other places!
There's nothing better than a warm fire in the fireplace - either a real one or a virtual one - and being surrounded by family and friends at Christmas. And some of the festivities that we were privileged to attend. Here are some photos of the fun. Enjoy!

4th day of Hanukkah at the Jewish Temple here in Boise. We were guests of Joe and Rachel Levitch. (Robin, Ethan, Rachael, Joe) joined by Brian, Sarah and little Sam. 
Thank-You so much for the opportunity to celebrate the season with you.

 Awesome salad bar and Latke's!

Saturday, December 24th, found us at our friends Tom and Leanne Felzien celebrating the season with their family of 20+. It was a great time. Thank-You for including us. Cheers!

The pets didn't know what to think with all the commotion.

The Felzien Clan in motion!

Here is the dinner plated:
Brussels Sprouts
Mashed Potatoes and Gravy
Celery Root Salad
(Wonderful!)
Curried Pea Salad
(Delicious!)
Roast Beef

Then on Christmas Morning, the family all met at our house. Robin had made Saffron Bread, Sticky pistachio Sweet Rolls with Marmalade, bread with Duck Fois Gras, Tea, Cookies, and Marnie and Mac brought Fresh Baked Sweet Cinnamon Rolls. We had some of the Rye Bread given to us by our neighbors, Ben and Brook. Ben works at Gascon's bakery.

Here we all are - except for Sophia.
(L-R) Marnie, Mac, Madison, Robin and Chris

These are the Ravenswood shirts Robin got everyone. Except for Mac - He received a Ravenswood Bike Shirt. Colorful.

So now, we are waiting to go to Marnie and Mac's for our Christmas dinner. Sophia (Mac's daughter) will be there with us along with our dear friend, Margaret. More eating! More wine! More activity! Maybe some Whisky! (No. That's not misspelled!) But definitely more fun!! Wish us luck.
