our Boston trip

My Christmas gift to Eric was a day trip to Boston.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

We rode the train into the city

.

.

. and took the Samuel Adams Brewery tour

and did the beer tasting

usually the tours have eighty people, but because the weather was so bad, we had less than fifteen

.

.

.

.

.

we had lunch (Doyle's) and dinner (Jacob Wirth)

.

.

.

.

.

.
We saw the Blue Man Group

.

.

.

and had a wonderful time!

Definitely a show worth seeing.

.

.

.

.

.

It snowed the entire day. We had never seen such large and perfect snowflakes.
.

.

.

.Everything was decorated for Christmas and the snow made it all the more lovely.
.

.

.

.

.

Christmas in Boston is beautiful
.

. Merry Christmas!

now we are both 26

Eric made me the most beautiful carrot cake

my birthday gift (Narnia collection on CD from Focus on the Family) (in my opinion, the best option on CD)




we had dinner at Margaritas (my favorite restuarant)

the tree in downtown Mystic on the river (we could see it from the restaurant)

our little snow storm

Friday delivered lots and lots of snow. It was snowing so hard and coming down so fast that I actually got out of work early (thank you Ryan) (and Jared for cleaning off my car).

One of our neighbors used his snow blower and cleaned all of our sidewalks and the end of the driveways. He had to come out a few times (the snow was coming down at about an inch an hour). We love living in a neighborhood where the people take care of each other.

this is after our freezing rain

(I used the windshield protectors that my Bob made me years ago) (they are pink kitchen shelf liner and you put them on before it snows. then you just peel them off and have a bare spot on your windshield!)

Eric taking care of business

we took full advantage of the eight inches we got and made a snowman. he originally was much taller than me, but after the freezing rain, he shrank (and tilted forward). he is still cute!






hopefully our friend Larry will hang out in our front yard for a while.

Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday (handsome) brother Michael!

We called my mother last night to wish her a Happy Birthday and she said what my heart longed for: "You and Michael were my birthday presents!" I've heard that so many times growing up, but I never tire of it.

lots of love from my inbox this morning
