A wonderful 2009!We’ve had an amazing 2009, so I thought I’d share some pictures. First of all, Ryan got into the Y@le S0M! He’s so excited to start next Fall. I’m just so proud of him. And of course because he’s part of the professional school, they already show them that they care about him… he got a nifty luggage tag with the S0M logo. Fancy! No pictures of this, however… We did take some pictures on Xmas eve. We spent the holidays here at home, in CT. Which was wonderful, relaxing, but also kind of lonely. Most people were gone, so we made the most of it at home. After some lab work, I came home, looked in on our friends cat, then we went ice skating at the local rink. Going on Christmas eve is a plus, very very few people there. I took full advantage of front row seats in front of the fire place, and then an hour or so of skating! (Pictures to come soon, they’re on our phones). Then we came home and cooked some dinner. Backstory: we went to NC for Thanksgiving again (so much fun, and we flew this time— no more 12 hours in the car with traffic!), which of course means watching the Food Network like ALL the time. No complaints here, since we haven’t had cable in almost 2 years, its fun to spend a week watching one of our favorite channel. Anyway, we saw Rachel Ray making a Thanksgiving mini-meal for two. Menu: Turkey cutlets–breaded, some side (zucchini and something else), and these apples with granola as an inside out pie, for dessert. So, I breaded up some turkey cutlets (that I didn’t even know existed before the show!), Ryan made up some cornbread and turkey stuffing and the apples. Everything came out lovely, and it was a fun way to spend Xmas eve. Then we watched a movie and just relaxed. Christmas morning we were up really early and opened gifts! Ryan got Chumby One that he’s been wanting for ever! Ryan gave me the rest of my Hannukah presents that hadn’t arrived in time: a hot pink plastic cover for my MacBook, Hanson CDs (my old ones got stolen back in CA when they broke into my car) including two new ones!, and a slanket! The rest of the day was full of more movies and relaxing!! |
