Holidays 2008

Holidays this year was, well, busy, and full, and joyful, and attempting to be frugal with a little less to circulate, and, did I mention busy? :)

For Halloween, I was motivated to make our costumes - all three of ours... Mine, a cave man, Delilah was a kitty, and Barbara's was supposed to be a cave girl, until she saw how cute Delilah's cat came out... We attended our first party at Lynea and Rheto's, while Delilah played with their daughter Josie then went Trick-or-treating with them around the area. From there, we went to Colleens house - where we had, um, sorta suggested that she should throw a Halloween party...

This year, I bought some more Peanut oil to fry Turkies - and boy did I fry turkies! We went to my brothers for the official Thanksgiving feast, then had a "make your own extended family dinner" on Friday to up the holiday factor (2 turkies there).

Leading us into Christmas -
We had our standard "Christmas Eve Eve" party, which was again well attended (about 40 people in our little place) having numerous memorable highlights.


And for Christmas, had my parents over for breakfast, and then invited a number of friends to join us for dinner.


After Christmas, things were cooking at work - so I took in the turkey fryer and cooked up three more birds to share with for a potluck! A little too much oil made this a particular mess, but rave reviews all around. Wow - talk about turkey!
