The Day After Christmas Ray and I went into our beloved Boston and had dinner at Dick's Last Resort....oh so classy (and we even gave out a pass along card, woot woot). We then walked around Fanuel Hall and Quincy Market. I tried on a bunch of clothes that didn't fit me and decided that our evening was best spent holding hands, walking around, rather then trying to fit my larger than life hips into small jeans. The tree that was lit was beautiful and I fall in love with Ray and Boston everytime we go. We walked down to Swan Pond, where we like to walk on the frozen pond and decided that the slightly melted ice near our feet was not making us feel so comfortable, even though there were skaters out jumping on the ice...we'll go again when the temperature is below 32....or even 55 degrees as we have had somewhat of a heat wave since our big snow storm.
LEADING UP TO CHRISTMAS
We finally found a tree that made us all happy and the boys worked hard getting on my car with no rack on the top...we have to get one! This is the second time we have needed a rack on the top of my car...too bad the tree died about a week later. Oh well, it lasted us through Christmas.

This was our beautiful Red living room all ready for Christmas morning :-)
Our Christmas Card for this year....actually it was our ChristmHannuKwanzika Card
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care....until they fell down because they were too heavy! Mrs. Claus stayed up til about 3am making sugar cookies with everyone's name on them and Santa stayed up painting pictures of his beautiful children. The kids are very lucky to have had such a full Christmas! We send our best to you and thank you for those of our family members reading this who donated to our Christmas celebration!
