We are heading to the Big City to spend the weekend with my family cooking, eating, visiting, relaxing, gifting, going to church, and playing intensely-competitive board games with a Wii bowling tournament sprinkled into the mix. We'll maybe even take a drive through the park to see the holiday light display and hopefully get pulled over by a merry Santa who hands out candy instead of speeding tickets!
Monday morning it is back to the daily grind, so we'll make the most of the weekend while anxiously awaiting future years when holidays fall on weekdays instead of weekends.
A couple of weeks ago we commemorated Christmas with our other side of the family, so we are lucky enough to have an extended celebration. [Almost] everyone was in attendance, and we feasted on- believe it or not- pizza and lutefisk!
Eating lutefisk is a Christmas tradition that I married into, and it is always served with mashed potatoes, white gravy and melted butter to combat the tastelessness and Jell-O-like texture. :)
That same weekend we had the honor of being named our newest niece's godparents at her baptism. Her middle name is "Joy," so it was extra-special to have her baptized into the Lord's family during this joyous time of year.
Happy Holidays!
