Happy Holidays from the Haarmeyers

We hope you all have had a pleasant holiday season and will have a great new year.

Alex and Craig skied a few days in Tahoe, spent a few days at the winery working a bit to button things up before getting down to the business of Xmas. The girls did much baking, including chocolate cookies, a white cake and butter rolls for Xmas dinner and Cinnamon buns for the day after. Grandma came down to help with the cookies and we exchanged some gifts and then we went ice skating on Xmas eve and had dinner at the Rubicon (where else?!) to celebrate Marian's 14th birthday and we ended up at Joe and Gina's for some port wine, naturally.

Xmas day dinner we had the folks over for a Beef tenderloin dinner with roasted potatoes, green bean casserole and beet salad with bleu cheese and a bottle of Barbara. We all had fun sitting by the fire and exchanging more gifts and conversation.

Cheers!
