St Nicholas Day

Well, I'm running a bit behind with my holiday postings. First Thanksgiving and now St Nicholas Day... Yes, it's a real holiday. December 6. Here is a link with some good information: www.wf-f.org/st.nicholas.html

Nick and I wanted to have a St Nicholas Day party last year, but since we'd only been in our house for not even four days, we just weren't able to. This year we held our "First Annual St Nicholas Day Feast" on Saturday Dec. 6. We asked everyone to bring a dish to pass and a toy that would be given to a local foster child. Our friends were very generous - no trips to the 99 cent store for them! They brought fire trucks that light up, a glass chess set, baby dolls, teddy bears...




And, of course, what get-together is complete without a shot of Nick's jalapeno infused tequila (he made it last year as a gift for a couple friends - I refuse to try it!)?!


It was a great night. Lots of fun!!

Happy (Belated) Thanksgiving!

I finally got around to posting my pictures from Thanksgiving!... Nick and I drove up to his Aunt Jean's house in Idyllwild (two hours from San Diego) on Wednesday night and then drove home Thursday afternoon/evening.

You can pick from four different dances this year! Last year there was just the classic holiday dance... Too cute!
