christmas eve...eve....eve...

so, tradition has it that my familia goes to dinner on christmas eve.

and we always go to the olive garden

this year, we went out on december 20

and we went somewhere new

we're gettin' crazy up in here!

so here it is, photographic evidence that may include...

the live john denver music

the silvery boots on the old lady at the next table

photo sessions with da nephews

my attempt to claim the donut i wanted with a hearty bite

my sister's attempt to claim the other donut with a finger poke

oh, and...maybe a surprise from my glory days....

and, the crowning jewel...

hot ham, i look good.
