We finally celebrate Christmas and New Year!!
January 17, 2010
The Corbett Family finally celebrates Christmas and New Years on January 16th. and there's football and the Golden Globes too.
Naturally Christmas is all about food. Here Ruth, Sara and Dan are in the kitchen cutting and preparing. The evening started with shrimp and cheese and bread. The main course was turkey and gravy, duck with a fruit glaze, Parmesan potatoes Au gratin, wasabi blue potatoes, green salad topped with toasted sliced almonds, tomatoes and avocados. Desert was assorted cheese cakes with vanilla ice cream. WOW!!!
Naturally Ruth got out the good china for the occasion.
A party is not a party unless you can show Bebe's new wardrobe. Check out the rack.
When Randy and Liz arrived Bebe had a new friend to play with, Cody.
It was the cutest thing seeing Bebe walk on her hind legs. Cody just watched in amazement.
The dinner bell rang and we all sat down like good, hungry folks.
Sara and Brian had to kiss before they could dive in to the food.
After dinner it was time for some champagne. Here Dan and Kristin enjoy Bebe's company. After all we were celebrating New Years too.
It was time for presents. Ruth's brother Randy started the party. Great shade of green.
Then Ruth read the Christmas card from Dan and Kristin. As you can see she got a chuckle out of it.
Then when we started opening the presents from them it was a huge surprise. It came in two parts. The first was a digital screen to show your digital pictures off of an SD chip. The second part was a printout of my blog,
This was very emotional. The printout was created by Dan and Kristin. They printed it out and put the whole thing together. It was fantastic to see. Thank you!!
Sara and Brian knew that I love sunrises, sunsets and shots of waves. They came across this photo artist Clark Little. Check out his work at http://www.clarklittlephotography.com/.
I can't wait to see the shot near my computer. Thank you Sara and Brian. A picture of a picture does not do it justice.
Ruth got everyone a pair of glasses. Here Sara and Brian ham it up.
Dan and Kris look very Hollywood in theirs.
Randy's offered a bribe for his glasses. I guess he's the only one that got a brown pair..........
Then we posed for next years Christmas card. I'm just kidding.
The weekend was also filled with football. On Saturday Reggie Bush and the New Orleans Saint beat Arizona. And the Colts beat the Baltimore Ravens. On Sunday the Minnesota Vikings beat the Cowboys, 34 to 3. Brett Farve looked great. But to me the most important game this weekend was Mark Sanchez and the Jets. New York beat the Chargers in San Diego 17 to 14. Next Sunday for the AFC championship, the Jets play Indianapolis at Indianapolis. Go Jets, Go Sanchez!!!! For the NFC championship its the Minnesota Vikings playing New Orleans Saints. I hope New Orleans can pull off an upset.
To top it off, on Sunday evening we watched the Golden Globes. I was very happy that James Cameron won for best Director and Best Film.
