New Burger Place
We recently had dinner at Chop House Burgers. It was pretty yummy. Definitely worth a try.

Holidays...continued.
After we left Denver, we drove to Taos, NM. We stopped for a late lunch at our favorite place, Orlandos. We also stopped for some yarn at Lalana Wools, and Steven Kilborns Pottery shop. Purchases were made at both shops. We cruised through some of the other shops and then left for Santa Fe.
We checked into our hotel, Garrets Desert Inn, and picked a place for dinner. After having such a late lunch, we were only a little hungry but decided to give Zia's Diner a try. The salmon quesadillas were awesome. I can't wait to have them again the next time we go to Santa Fe.
The next day, after a big breakfast at the hotel, we did some shopping on the square. We also visited my favorite yarn shop in Santa Fe, Miriams Well and another place I like, Oodles Yarn and Beads. We also checked out a bakery that had been recomended to us, Sage Bakehouse. The olive bread was amazing.
We weren't really hungry for lunch, so decided to hold out for dinner. We tried a place that was new to us, Santa Luna. If you have a chance to go, their appetizer, Chile En Nogata, was to die for. I think next time, I'll just get a couple of them for my meal!
The next morning we packed up the car and stopped at Tecolate Cafe for breakfast, before heading home.
We had a great time. Laundry is done, gifts put away, and football games watched.
Happy Birthday, Charlie!

Holidays
We have had a busy last couple of weeks. On the Wednesday before Christmas, we left for Denver by driving to Amarillo that afternoon and then on to Toddler M's house the next day. We cooked, and ate, and got everything ready for the big day. We went to a very nice Christmas Eve church service.
Christmas morning, both sets of grandparents, one of the great grandmothers, two aunts and an uncle, and his parents, of course, were there for Toddler M's Santa extravaganza. Gifts were opened, paper was trashed, and everyone was (I think) happy with their loot.
This included a big truck,
and a "computer" all his own.
(Ohhhhh, truck and computer both at the same time - awesome!)
Hummmm. What have we here?
How cool is this!
Whoa! This looks cool!
Aunt Carebear made a terrific coffee cake for breakfast and later we had a yummy Christmas dinner (complete with chocolate meringue pie, and blueberry cobbler) for 12 adults.
That afternoon everyone helped clean up the kitchen and visited, wondering when Aunt S's and Uncle M's new addition would make her entrance to the world since December 25th was her due date. (Turned out she arrived on 12/29 - only a few days late!)
We left Denver on Tuesday morning for a detour through Taos and Santa Fe. More on that next time!

Supper Club
Last night was our December Supper Club. I'm kind of glad it wasn't at my house this year. It can be a lot of work to have your house all decorated and "Christmas ready" for a party. But Sara's house looked very festive and her recent "home improvements" looked great. (Can't wait to see it all done!)
We had a great meal and then our annual Christmas ornament Chinese style gift exchange. Gifts were opened,
gifts were taken,
and gifts were worn.
Stories were told...
and Sara's newest quilt was displayed and oohed and awed over. She did a great job.
Everyone had a great time...and we get to do it again next month!

Tyler
Since Linz, Toddler M and the Husker are here for the Big 12 Championship game at Jerry World tomorrow night, we decided to drive to Tyer to visit with Toddler M's Great Grands. We had a good lunch and visit and everyone slept (except for me - I was driving) most of the way home.
