This year since Christmas came in the middle of the week I stayed close to home. On Christmas Eve we went to my son Matt's house for some gourmet desserts. My two month old grand daughter Charlotte was being a little fussy so we left a little early. Gracie and Christopher did open their presents at Uncle Matt's house. On Christmas Day I slept in. Matt sent us a Christmas Day picture of Charlotte. She looked so happy. I made a comfort food themed Christmas Dinner. The main courses were meat loaf and chicken cutlets. Thursday and Friday it was back to work. On Saturday I got to spend a very enjoyable and hilarious afternoon with my cousins Tara and Bronwyn on Long Island. We had a delicious lunch at an Italian Restaurant in Deer Park. Remembering the fun times we had as kids and catching up on some comical adventures we had over the past year. Christmas is a precious time and I am so blessed to have a wonderful family near and far.
