This year we spent Christmas at Rich’s house.  As usual the food was awesome!  We had prime rib, mash potatoes, asparagus, and all the trimmings.  For dessert we had a fruit torte cake from Ettore’s and a pecan delight of some sort.  See picture below.  I could have ate the pecan cookie thingy all night if I could.  It’s was Serene’s recipe from her co-worker.

Instead I sat in the message chair, watched TV with the family, then open gifts before we left.  We got some cool gifts from the family, including some nice treats for Minik and Candy, our puppies.

Here are some pics from last night’s dinner.

Haha, it was my birthday on Friday and we just made a weekend of it. Friday, dinner at our favorite sushi place, Kintaro, then Saturday, just relaxed. Slept in (that was a gift in itself). Then today, spent time in our backyard, then went to Wine and Roses Spa in Lodi, same place where I took Ebru for her birthday. Then after that we ran a lot of errands at the Arden Mall.

It was a fun and relaxing day. Tomorrow it’s back to reality.
