It's been a couple of years since we've all been together for the holidays, the last time being the Short Bus Tour to Mexico in '08, with my entire family, a total of 23 people. This year it's just the 4 of us, a much easier group to feed and transport, although I do miss the gigantic family gatherings. So far we've managed to get in a walk on the beach in between meals.
Christmas Day is also Amanda's birthday and this year she requested a Dutch Apple birthday pie as substitute for the traditional Birthday Cake. We ate and drank and sat and told stories and sang, a very good dinner on a chilly evening.
The menu this year: Salmon seasoned and steamed from the grill; Scallops sauteed in an onion, garlic, and wine sauce; Garlic mashed potatoes; all followed with lots of wine, chocolate and of course the apple pie with ice cream. Walks required all around today.
There has been a lot of talk of sailing but with a cold front blowing through today winds are cold and blasting from the NW at 20-25kts, gusts to 40. Looking at Tuesday...maybe a trip south for an overnighter, then back if the front continues to push through as forecast. No weather complaints allowed aboard though as friends and family continue to post about the large storms from the NE and huge snows from the Upper Midwest.
Merry X-Mass from aboard Celebration to all our family and friends!

I'm so glad you could all be together for Christmas. I can imagine the stories. We also had a Dutch apple pie yesterday in honor of Amanda's birthday. Love to you all.
That picture is such a keeper of all of you guys together! Beautiful! We again apologize for how hideous the weather's been, including this morning. You guys shoulda probably just veered east from Vero when you had the chance!

Tomb Raider, Mega Moolah, Mermaid's Millions, and Blackjack are some of the new Android game apps that have been released from Microgaming's partner, Spin 3.
Thus the games like the Mahjongg Spiele as well as the Naegel machen games are more in demand and this is the greatest benefit
or advantage of the online games. The reason for this rather strange feature is that, as described above, apps in
the Android Market are listed as they are submitted, without any testing.
