Boxing Day 2011

Are you going Boxing Day Shopping?  Fantastic Deals out there, all you need is time and money!  I don't think we will brave the crowds.

Hope everyone had a nice Christmas/Holiday weekend.  On Christmas Eve, we went to my mom and sister's house as usual.  A cousin joined us over there around lunchtime.  We took photos, decided to take some multi-generational shots featuring me, my mom and my daughter.  Then we took some with my sister, her daughter and my mom!  Then came the group shots, so the boys wouldn't feel left out.  It was nice to get together with all the kids around, they are growing up so fast.

I made this jerk trout for my mom as I thought it was healthy and she likes the peppery taste. I didn't add any extra salt and it was fine, so I think I'll stop adding salt to this dish in future. The jerk sauce has some salt already.

We opened gifts Xmas morning and went to M's family gathering in the afternoon. It was fun to see the new babies again, M's great nieces and nephew. His sister's food was delicious, moist succulent turkey and lots of other fine dishes. I took some mini cupcakes from Costco and made a fruit tray. It was enjoyed among other lovely desserts. We caught up with all the family gossip and it was a nice evening, a late night in fact.

Oh, it was a green Christmas, 3C and quite 'balmy' for the time of year.

Don't think I'll shop either!
We had some snow, a dusting for Christmas.
It's sunny today and may hit 40. Very strange for Michigan.
Had a lovely Christmas too. Hugs

No Boxing Day shopping here, everything is closed! Your trout looks good. The weather here is grey and wet, but quite mild. Valerie

No shopping here...helping my daughter get ready for a move to LA! So I guess that's a boxing day in a different kind of way! :)
