| I went to Morikami to celebrate the New Year. |
 |
| Heard a delightful concert by the Friends of Koto |
 |
| We watched rice pounding and making mochi rice cakes |
 |
| We got to try mochi. I liked it - especially the red bean paste stuffing. |
 |
| I loved the taiko drumming. |
 |
| The kids had a great time too. |
 |
| Ornaments hanging from Palm Trees wrapped in rope light |
 |
| Max's birthday cake - chocolate pudding cake made in the crock pot, with the coolest candle |
 |
| Christmas dinner at my neighbor's house. Christine is the best cook! |

| Who says its warm in Florida? |
 |
| Mom and Dad join us for dinner on New Year's Day |
 |
| Max made an apple pie. Mmmm... |
 |
| I helped Phil and Christine decorate their tree |
 |
| Love these huge Christmas decorations - they almost make up for the lack of snow. |
 |
| Em loves all the partying. |
 |
| Katie outdid herself once again with a delicious Halloween Spooky Brunch |
 |
| My favorite desert - Dirt From The Graveyard |
 |
