Tonight we had our annual Christmas dinner at my parents' house. I finally got some mulled cider (yay) and my cousin
Leilani led us through a wine tasting exercise. She started by having us smell different things that we might find in the wine (50 possible scents!) and then we tasted a variety of red wines. I couldn't really decipher the exact things I was smelling/tasting, which I chalk up to the fact that I'm not a big red wine fan.
Dinner was very delicious, and as you can see we had a wide variety of things to eat. I was happy to have some turkey and stuffing, and the sweet yams with pecans served in an orange were great. After dinner we opened presents and I now have some new gift cards to spend. Then we ate dessert, which included a pumpkin pie and snowball cookies that I had made. Overall it was a top night and one of the main reasons why I wanted to come home for the holidays.

I promise next time you're home, we'll do a white wine class :) Even if that's just you, me, and your mom without the rest of the gang. :)
So glad you were home, and looking forward to seeing you in just 9 months! ;-)
