Home for the Holidays!

Sunday the 23rd I was up early, after one of those fitful nights sleep worrying I'd sleep through the 2:30 AM alarm, then is was off to the airport for the trip home to Virginia. I concluded the early morning hubbub was worth it as the lights of Texas fell away along with all the pent up angst built up over the time I've been away from Susu, Nuala, and our little casa on the mesa back in Richmond.

Flights to VA were uneventful, always a pleasant surprise in this day and age, and as we turned the corner onto King William we were greeted by a phalanx of neighbors who thru the efforts of John Coski had assembled to welcome me home, banner and all.
Have I ever mentioned we have the best neighbors in the world!
First order of business after passing out hugs was a run to the Rivah with Nuala. We both agreed we were back in heaven!
Second order of business a very cozy nap.

Monday was spent running errands in preparation for Christmas, with a quick stop at Susu's new office.. no picture for this days activities, save the picture of the church down the street taken on a late walk with Nuala..
Christmas we were up early to prep for the Christmas Turkey Dinner Extravaganza.
Nuala opened her presents, then we took a quick walk down to the river, before our lunch date at the Coski's.
Upon returning from our lunch date we Skyped with the Lamoreaux's and heard all about the loot Santa brought for the grand kids. Eden was most proud of her stocking stuffer mustache.

The Christmas finale was a very well prepared Turkey Feast.
Thanks to Susu's culinary skills it was all delicious!
And I ate entirely too much of it!

    Glad you made it home safely. I bet Susu was glad to see you snoring on the couch again. :)
