Last week, our favorite grocery store, Earth Fare, held a Christmas party for the kids. In a community room off the cafe seating, about a dozen and a half kids, as well as their respective parents, we were served lunch (hot dogs, veggie dogs, and Brats, crudites and dips, chips, punch and more). The kids got to watch a couple of Rankin & Bass movies (which are my favorite Christmas flicks), did some crafts and coloring, and had a visit from Santa!
Alex had a great time (and Matt found a new Brat to try), interacted with other kids, and walked away with some lovely gifts. But the best part was sharing some Christmas cheer with my little boy and husband.
See those cheeks?? Sure sign my little guy is so ready for a nap...
"Yeah...I'm not so sure about this, Daddy"
Merry Christmas (or whatever you celebrate), Everyone!

- Someone's In The Kitchen With Alex: Chocolate Bombs
I think I enjoy Alex's cookbooks just as much...if not more...than he does. I'm not sure why, exactly, but I do. He's accumulating a nice little shelf of them, too...and during the Christmas break, he kept bringing out his Donna Hay: Cool...
- Cookies...it's Begun
Alex's teacher asked if I could make sugar cookie Gingerbread men for his and the other preschool class; apparently, kids who are not Alex don't like strong spices like ginger and cloves. Could I?? Hee...I live for this. You won't want...
- A Study In Chocolate
Another Red's Round-Up (kids's party) at Earth Fare; this time the kids were given (small amounts of) chocolate to try. Alex got to try a Venezuelan dark chocolate... one in milk carob chips more Venezuelan chocolate, this time white rice...
- While Visions Of Food Prep Danced In Their Heads
I have to confess: I haven't been all that excited by Christmas the past few years. I think it has a lot to do with being so far away from my family and the traditions I grew up with. But now that Alex is getting a bit older, the house is much further...
- On The Twentyfourth Day Of Christmas: At Long Last It's Christmas Eve
Dad pouring me port to go with the ris a l'amande. No I didn't get the almond. I'm back-posting by a couple of hours, 'cause the date here really has to say the 24th. And it sort of still is the 24th, Christmas Eve, seeing we just returned...
