This year – we have 4 Christmases.   1 with Mike’s parents, 1 with my parents, 2 with extended family!  Yesterday we got things under way – and headed out to Mike’s parents to see them for the holidays! For lunch – my boss Kristin spoiled me and bought me Rockne’s (my favorite!!!) because she knew I’d had a rotten week!  Isn’t she the best?

I say this every time I eat one of these Buffalo Chicken Salads – you MUST find a Rockne’s and eat this for yourself.  You MUST! 

After work, we headed out to Mike’s parents (about an hour and 20 minute drive) and were greeted by his smiling family – and a wonderful looking table of food!  Lando wanted in on the action:  This was plate #1 – but after the first round – I just gave up on the plate, and camped out at the table so I could eat more efficiently!  My favorite treat of the night – these suckers:

Have you ever had these before? If not – I do recommend them – they are super tasty (and fun – which always helps food taste better, right? )

We had a great time visiting with Mike’s parents, and Lando had a great time playing with her Aunt Josie (aka – Mike’s parents’ dog – but I’m a crazy dog lady, so I have to call her Aunt Josie! ) These two cracked me up all night – they were like 2 little tornados – I tried so hard to get a picture of them – but they just weren’t cooperating!   My FIL try to help out: But they both refused to look at the same time!    Hey – we tried!

Lando was a nice Granddogter (as my MIL calls her) – and offered to help with the dishes:

Can you tell I’m having more fun taking pictures of Lando, instead of food, with my new camera?

Thanks for everything Dan and June – it was great to see you last night and we’ll miss you on Christmas!!!

Hope you are all having a WARM and wonderful Saturday!
