Holiday Report

We had a lovely holiday week. On Christmas Eve we had the whole fam damily here for our traditional fondue dinner. This started way back in Houston over 30 years ago. After dinner we sang the Nativity and opened gifts. On Christmas morning Deb, Doug and Ryan prepared our traditional Christmas breakfast of ebelskievers - (I have no idea how to spell it) - a round Danish pancake. Fast forward to New Years Eve and we were all here for our trad'l BINGO tournament. I wrapped over 50 Bingo prizes - a labor of love. We had a "guess how many of whatever is in the bottle and you win it" game, which is a big hit. We filled 20 bottles of various adorable shapes and sizes. Maggie won the jar of money which had $7.77. Clever. We totally made it to midnight and beyond, and our Monans had a sleepover. It was GREAT!! Hope you all have a Happy New Year.
