Christmas

Yeah I know...it's been a busy one. Especially since Lucas got sick Christmas morning, then Daddy followed suit, then Darci, then Mommy's immune system finally gave in. So between Christmas and a little after New Years we were all confined to the apartment and mostly to the couch/bed. We're all better now, but school started so we are now confined to UVU/the computer chair. But here is what Christmas was kind of like:


Aunt Leah and Zach got Lucas Batman PJs (cape courtesy of Mom in High School)


 Christmas Eve Dinner consisting of grilled lamb chops, braided bread, nuts, dried fruit, and goat cheese with flat bread...mmmm...


After we looked at the lights at the Riverwoods, we had a Cocoa Party! Then it was off to bed until...


...Santa came!


As out of it as Lucas was, he still managed some excitement when we pulled out the tricycle Santa got him (no idea what happened to the picture).


And finally, the dinner we didn't get to wholly enjoy because of all the sick people. Beef tenderloin with Duchesse potatoes, green beens and jello salad (not shown) with a traditional English Trifle for dessert (also not shown) 

So we had a great Christmas spent inside and away from other human beings. We would have loved to have family, but nobody could make it so it was spent just the four of us. The beef tenderloin will probably become a tradition as it was just so fantastically delicious. Other modifications may take place, we'll have to see. I hope everyone had a happy!

Sounds like it was still good! Awesome food and plenty of time with family :) Beef tenderloin looks like it came from a fancy restaurant!
