I forgot to post photos from a couple of weekends ago when we met up with my dad’s military buddy’s visiting daughter, Jenny, and her Trojan boyfriend Kevin. So here ya go.

We had Chinese hot pot at my parents’. Let’s see how long Cindy can refrain from drinking the champagne.

Apparently, not long.

How many people can you fit on one sofa?

Hmm. If we’re all on the sofa, who took the picture?

The lengths some people go to, to set up the perfect shot!

My parents and grandma are coming to our house for Christmas dinner tomorrow. My parents and I are not traditionalists where these holidays are concerned, so I’m just making what people like to eat. My dad’s a huge seafood fan, so I’m gonna do the Cajun shrimp bowl that was such a hit last time. My grandmother, however, is a very picky eater, and I was stuck. She has a major sweet tooth and constantly complains that various pastries and desserts aren’t sweet enough, so I’m gonna go pick her up a gourmet chocolate cupcake, which I know is plenty sweet. But I don’t think she eats spicy or shrimp, for that matter, so I was stuck as to a main dish for her. I emailed my mom for help. What does grandma like? My mother emailed back that she likes pizza. So our Christmas dinner tomorrow will be shrimp and pizza. Haha!
