2011 Christmas

Our Christmas this year began  when Sarah and Eric arrived on Friday night Dec. 16th. We spent the entire day Saturday in Disney Hollywood Studios and Epcot World Showcase. A delicious dinner at the British restaurant was consumed before watching the Candle Light performance and spectacular fireworks. On Sunday the "old folks" stayed home to recover while the young-uns went to Seaworld and Downtown Disney. Monday we joined Sarah and Eric again to go into Animal Kingdom and back to Hollywood Studios to see the Osborne Family festival of lights. Tuesday we stayed home to have our Christmas together, opening presents and having steaks on the grill.

After Sarah and Eric left on Tuesday night we faced our first Christmas without family around. With Pretzel also gone the house was very quiet and "empty".  On Christmas Eve we had an open house for our friends who were also here and had such a good time. Christmas Day we had family friends from Conneticut for dinner. Richard, Chris, Lily, & Georgia arrived about 5Pm and we had a wonderful dinner and visit.
