a christmas recap

So in trying to catch up with everything this will be somewhat of a jumbled blog...

First off, my friend good friend Vickie, who I met at work invited Chris and I over for her annual Christmas party.  It was so nice to have a home cooked meal along with great friends.

Brittany and her boyfriend David

Vickie has twins that I adore.  Gabe showed me the newest addition to his bedroom :)

An airplane his grandma gave him!  Love this!  Grandpa Clyde would have loved this!

This is one of their cats :) I think this one is Autumn.. or maybe Georgie...  I'm not sure, but he was giving me such a sweet look to let him inside!

Kim and her boyfriend Ryan

Me and Gabe

Roman with his cute smirk

 Christmas Eve Dinner, Vickie also invited us over.  I think she knew it was going to be hard on us being away from home.  Such a thoughtful friend :)

Her husband Matt is itailan.  I guess there is a tradition to have a 7 fish dinner.  We didn't have 7 fish but I think 2 or 3.

 Best meal ever!

First off was this...  so yummy!!!

 Gabe ended up with the camera after awhile

Because we had spent some much money on house stuff a few weeks prior to Christmas, so we decided to get each other meaningful orienments :)

He got me an elephant :)
