Where Were We?

Wow, has it really been two weeks since I posted last?  Sorry!  The last couple of weeks have been a whirlwind of time with family, travel, more time with family, relaxing, eating good food…

This was my first Christmas ever bringing a boy home for the holidays!  And that boy just happened to be my Future Husband!  It was really nice spending Christmas with him, my parents and my grandmother.  He had a chance to see and taste some of our holiday traditions.

So, here are the holidays in pictures so far…

We got my parents a digital photo frame for Christmas.  I spent quite a bit of time scanning in old family pictures and I think the folks love it!IMGP1288Future Hubs and I checked out some of the amazing Christmas lights in the neighbourhood.  This guy goes all out!!IMGP1309IMGP1322Future Hubs helped to brine the family turkey in bourbon.  Boy it was one tasty turkey!IMGP1327Christmas Day dinner.  What a feast!IMGP1332My niece helps my unwrap one of my Christmas presents.IMGP1358Learning how to make Finnish pirakka – a traditional savoury pastry of a rye crust filled with rice pudding or mashed potatoes.

Yay to first Christmases! My fiance and I had ours too. That's a great idea with the picture frame. I just might have to do that next year and fill it with wedding photos.

Giving Linda a digital picture frame was one of my best gifts. I load up a 2GB USB chip with all our vacation photos and set it to a random display. She keeps it at work, and it often distracts her co-workers.
