Merry Christmas!

Well, today we are spending our first Christmas in our new home. It will be a day full of firsts. Our first Christmas where we will be the hosts instead of the guests. More significantly, it will be the first Christmas without my mom. I know she is here in spirit, though. Christmas was her favorite holiday and I'm sure she wouldn't miss it.

My family decided that we would continue her tradition of preparing lasagna for our Christmas feast. Who might be undertaking this responsibility? (Gulp) Me. Wish me good luck. I'm not the most experienced cook and I've never made her lasagna. She didn't have a written recipe and so I'm winging it. I'm sure my mom considers this a Christmas miracle. Hopefully, my memories of past Christmas lasagnas will be accurate.

Here's a little treat for all of our loved ones. We finally figured out how to download video snippets to our computer. No surprise, they all center around SofĂ­a. We hope all of you have a Christmas full of happiness and peace.
