that I hope you all had a very Merry Christmas (or at least a Happy Holiday - I have a Jewish friend ) and a safe, happy, and fun new year!!!

My girls got everything they'd ever want lol, the house was in great shape after some last-minute cleanup/unpacking, and we had alot of people over to see it and spend time with us. My father always had a tradition (when he was home - he's a cook for the dept of corrections here in DE and they don't believe in letting the inmates starve ) of making breakfast on Christmas morning, so him and my mother came at 7AM on Christmas to watch the girls open their gifts (we exchanged gifts as well but that isn't why they were there lol) and then Dad and I whipped up some morning goodness. Later on in the day my aunts and uncles as well as grandparents all stopped by.

It was nice... now I'm trying to figure out how to get everybody over on New Years Eve. Hopefully, if we do, it won't be as bad as last year... friends throwing up in the yard, people passed out, drunken phone calls to out of state family, and alot of fun LOL ROFL!!!

I had a great holiday. I drove home to my parents and we went into their neighbors house for their traditional Italian 7 fish Christmas dinner. It was delicious as always. A meal definately worth waiting a year for. The last course was lobster tails. Next year we are thinking of doing crabs. Ok, now I am making myself hungry.

Hope everyone else had a good holiday!!!
