So Christmas was really nice.\u00a0 Santa dropped by the house earlier and left some nice gifts.\u00a0 I don’t think any of us did too badly this year.\u00a0 Even Sascha had a good day.<\/p>\n

Rick got several Portal 2 items, which should make his year.\u00a0 Rich got his usual beer t-shirts, a diamond plate mailbox, and some tools.\u00a0 I got a sash for my Ren Faire outfit in Campbell tartan, a cover for my Nook, and a cooler I can take to Ravinia.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Rich made dinner.\u00a0 It has become our tradition to have rib roast rare with Yorkshire pudding.\u00a0 This year’s offering was no exception.\u00a0 The roast was great and the pudding (actually more like muffins) were tasty.\u00a0 Sascha even got a rib bone to chew on.\u00a0 Poor baby, she had no idea what to do with it.\u00a0 She wanted to take it to her den and savor the flavor.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, my sinus condition persists.\u00a0 The guys went for an afternoon walk with Sascha out at the forest preserve.\u00a0 Moraine State Park was closed for the holiday.\u00a0 However, the trail at the preserve runs along the river.\u00a0 So it was a nice walk, even if Sascha got a little muddy. She seemed to enjoy her time out with the guys.<\/p>\n

I posted picture from our day up on Picasa.\u00a0 You can find these at:\u00a0 https:\/\/picasaweb.google.com\/JZurekFamily\/Christmas2011<\/a>#<\/p>\n

Rick was setting so that the window was at his back and\u00a0the camera didn’t flash to fill in enough on some of these so he does appear quite so many times as Rich.\u00a0 I assure you he did well for Christmas.<\/p>\n

Hope your holidays were good and continue to be so through the New Year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
