a scrumdiliumptious Lasha-kinda Christmas

The photos really say it all, but knowing me, you'll all expect a few words. So be it. It was a grand day. The roads were hazardous with some Minnesota snow and ice, yet the room was pleasantly warm when we arrived first at Tom and Carol's home for the Hanson festivities.
My family did not make an appearance, so I had to be the sole representative, and represent I did. Being the first to arrive at the house, I greeted everyone at the door.

There's a whole lot of me to love in these photos. Probably because I was the center of every one's attention. Without demanding it of course.

This is me demonstrating what it would be like to look really good after being fat. The natural result of lap band surgery of course.


Greg and Sandy are enamored with my quick wit and articulate nature.


The children, of all ages, were fascinated with my story time and storytellers charm. They were asleep before dark!


I don't know how this picture of Seena got on here, but she tried to steal my light with the coveted drinking helmet. I threatened her and she stopped stealing my sole-representative-of-the-Dennis-clan-lime-light.

Of course Joe had successfully tried to get into my pants on this trip. Please pardon the double entendre it was necessary for maximum laughage!

The Stewart children are the DELIGHT of the Hanson Christmas!

Once again my children are the delight of the crowd. I dare say that if they didn't show up, perhaps joy would have not shown up also! Gabe laughed and played in the snow. Ava bossed the big girls around and conjured up some adorable sassy sayings. And Clara cooed and wowed the crowd with her very advanced babyness. JOe and I just sat back in awe of our products.

Dinner at Lasha's very merry Christmas 09

 

 

 

Oh those Hanson's sure know how to cook! We had Lamb chops, my favorite, fresh cheese ball, made by Doris, (she know's I crave those) as a prequel to our eating of the lamb, and washed down with some wine provided by Tom. He said he picked the grapes himself, that may be another Tom Tall Tale, but I know the wine was selected just for me. What a very merry Christmas it was for me!

Cookie overdose at the Lasha CHRISTMAS

 

Look at all the cookies the Hanson ladies baked me. STOP, STOP, I can't take it anymore! There are just far too many delicious morsels to consume in such a short time. Oh those ladies are so thoughtful to over indulge me with sugar!

A Very Merry LASHA Christmas it was!

These people were all at the Hanson Christmas too. They look like they had fun!
