Wedding Preparations
Hi Everybody!!
Mike and I are back in Tucson and in full swing wedding prep for my Dad and Sansa's wedding.
Our first day back we put lights up in the tent above the dance floor, put finishing touches on the balcony gazebo, exchanged presents, and ate an amazing Korean meal prepared by J-sun and Ben (Sansa's son's girlfriend and her son).
Today, we went over for the rehearsal and the rehearsal dinner and ate another amazing meal. This time Indian food from a local restaurant and dessert...more molasses cookies and brownies...who could get tired of those!! My Aunt Rosemary and Uncle Tommy arrived and we had great fun with Sansa's siblings who also have arrived and were present for the preparations and wonderful meals.
Tomorrow's the big day, so we'll post a wedding day exclusive in the next day or so.
Hope all is well with everyone!!

It's cookie time.
Test your pronunciation:
1. stroof-o-lee
2. cals-on-jees
3. pin-yol-ee
4. pit-zel
5. bu-tta
and the man-i-goat-ee stuffing is being made as I type.
Grandma's birthday bash was yesterday, and tonight we are headed into Queens for Chirtmas Eve fish with Aunt Terry and the gang.
Merry Christmas to all!

Bring me some figgy pudding...
Day 1: Let it snow...or flurry
Our first day in Bayville we ate bagels, hung around the house, did some errands,and then it snowed, or flurried, depending on how often you see snow!! We all went to bed pretty early and then slept pretty late.
Day 2: Figgy pudding
I guess I underestimated the skill and patience required to prepare the fig trees for their winter cozy. Sue and Mike came over around nine o'clock in the morning and we finished up around two o'clock in the afternoon. I don't think I've ever gathered so many leaves in my entire life.
Day 3: Lights, Cameras, Christmas Trees
Yesterday we walked along the beach over to Angie's to help Sue and Mike decorate the house with Christmas lights. I'm pretty sure you can see it from space now.
Then we went and picked out a Christmas tree and some wreaths. We got the best tree in lot, second only to Sue and Mike's tree, of course, it's not a competition (that wouldn't be very jolly).
