Today was the official start of the seasonal marathon of eating. We headed up to Duracell this morning for the annual holiday party. Matthew was really excited to attend since he missed the last two when we were living in Shanghai. We arrived, we ate, we socialized, we left. Mind you, we didn't go home. OH NO. We headed straight down to Margaret and Rick's house for a holiday gathering. They were gracious enough to host 22 of us. Yup. 22 that's the total number between kids and adults. The boys were pasted in front of the WII, the girls were making arts and crafts and the adults, well, we were parked in the kitchen island grazing non stop. Tidbits, crudite, wine, beer, you name it. We grazed and then we ate dinner on top of that. More like inhaled the meal. Shameful but true. We finished the night with dessert and coffee and waddled out of Margaret's place with full bellies. The kids were sugared up but we were all very very happy. Now we just have to figure out where the next gathering will be.
