Christmas in Cape Cod 2007

Kevin and I went to Cape Cod to celebrate Christmas with his family. I'd met his mother and brother before but he was waiting to propose before he brought me to the big family Christmas.

His mother lives in an apartment attached to her friends Dave and Dolores's house, so we had Christmas Eve dinner with them and their son, also named Kevin) and wife Monica.

On Christmas we went to his grandparents' house for some traditional Chinese food. His mother's side of the family is Grandpa Buff, Grandma Ruth, Kathy, Aunt Nesie and her husband Steve (not pictured), Aunt Mary, Uncle Dickie, Kevin, Andrew and cousins Katie and Chris.

The day after Christmas, we went back to Dave and Dolores's for a family engagement party. Kathy's family was there again, as well as family from Kevin's side, and Kathy and Dolores's book club.

Snacking

Ice cream cake is my favorite!

Cheers!

Since my grandparents also live on Cape Cod, about an hour away in Truro, we went to go visit them the next day.

It was a wonderful holiday and visit full of wonderful people.

Rockefeller Christmas Tree 2006

Kevin came to pick me up from Ramsey and we spent the day in New York City. We got a picture at the Rockefeller Plaza Christmas Tree and walked around taking in all the Christmas decorations. Kevin also asked me about living together next school year.

Christmas 2005

We left Thursday right after finals to go home. I spent Friday lazing around with my parents and we went to Rick and Yohanna's for Christmas Eve. Not doing too well with the pictures this year, and I didn't get any pictures there but I took a few before we left the house. Christmas itself was low key as usual.
