Merry Christmas, everybody!

Yesterday, Laura and I celebrated our first Christmas in our new home. It was a great day. We ate very well. The lunch/dinner menu included appetizers of smoked salmon and baked brie, a turkey seasoned with sage, bacon and maple syrup, and sides of green bean casserole, stuffing, mashed potatoes and gravy, and broccoli and cheese casserole. Fro dessert, Laura made a fantastic mint chocolate cheesecake! The crust was made of thin mints, and chocolate chips were sprinkled throughout the cake. Next week we get to do it all again with my family. Hooray for Christmas 2.0!!!
