We went to Springfield to be with Nicoles family for Christmas. Nicole and I did some cooking and drank some good wine. Nicole made her won tons and we also stuffed mushrooms with the same filling (cream cheese and sausage). I made some Asian chicken wings as well. For wine we tried a 2004 Trefethen Estate Cabernet. While certainly not their best Cabernet it was very good.
We had the whole family together. George and Michelle, Nicole and I, Ryan and Emily and their daughter Hattie (and expecting baby in June), Ashley and her son Zander along with her boyfriend Danny, and Allison. Then we had Grandpa and Grandma Tauer, and Grandma Coners along with uncle Paul and his daughter Libby. We also had a visit from Santa Claus who had gifts for all the well-behaved children. It is a lot of fun to watch the reactions on their faces when Santa arrives. Even Hattie did well with Santa, she was afraid you could tell, but she was also very fascinated by him and even gave him a hug at the end.
On Saturday we are just "hanging" with Nicole's family, most of the sisters are onto their significant others families, so it will be George, Michelle, Nicole, Ally and I.
On Sunday, on our way back to Hudson we will stop at my Grandpa Jack and Grandma Connie's home for a visit with my mom's side of the family. Oyster Stew is the tradition for the Will Christmas.
Here are a few pictures of the Tauer family Christmas.
