Christmas wrap up

We headed up to me Mum's Sunday for my side of the family's Christmas gathering. We invited Taylor to come along, this was her first visit with my family. Not too many surprises on activities, none expected. Mom and everyone looked great. Everyone brought some food along, calorie binge for me though I was back on track the day after. There was lasagna, mini hot dogs in BBQ sauce, veggy platter, cheese, chips , crackers and dip, spicy & hot cheese with hot sausage dip with Frito scooping chips. Desserts were a chocolate/strawberry torte, ice cream cake with a mini Almond Joy border and Blueberry cheesecake squares. I came down from the food high on the drive home - slept on the couch for about an hour after I got home. As usual I enjoyed myself immensely with the family, too brief of a visit. We'll have to see what's going on around Easter.
