Christmas Odds and Ends

Christmas here at the House of Boy and Girl was spent with Michelle's family. Her grandparents, two brothers, and sister came over for the day. We all had a nice dinner - leg of lamb, potatoes, tabbouleh (from the recipe in the post below) and green beans, along with a couple of wines and assorted cookies and ice cream for dessert. This was Dan's first experience with lamb, and I think it turned out ok. A tiny piece at the first pass, and then a heaping pile of seconds.

After dinner, we all played Trivial Pursuit, boys vs. girls. Grandmother and Grandfather were so eager to answer questions that they occasionally answered for the wrong team...



Fang and Errol got new blankets from Jeff's family. Fang had plenty of fun ripping into the package. Errol saved his fun for the blankets themselves.
