Whew - the holidays were so much more relaxing when I was a kid. Sleeping in, watching tv, eating, and napping...those were the days (that I don't get anymore).
Christmas 2011 is gone but not the memories. Dad and Bev came and visited us this Christmas - again it was so nice to have some of my family here with us.
Christmas Eve we went to Mike's Mom's house and had a Mexican feast
(although at that point a siesta would have been just fine with me). We
ate enchiladas, pico, salsa, tamales, rice, and beans. Everyone
brought a little something so Pam didn't have to do it all herself this
year! I stayed up all night making the tamales ;-)

Ok folks I did it. The last day of the year and I updated the blog. It's been a nice few days here and I have pics of us (not me) in shorts, but that is another blog post. 2011 has been great for us and cannot wait to see what 2012 has for us. Till next year ;-)
