Matt, Kairee and Brett arrived on December 22, after an incredibly long trip down highway 5. Matt had a bad headache when they arrived but Brett went right to the kitchen and began baking! That boy loves to cook!
We have several traditions in the Boyer family. One is that there are new pajamas waiting on everyone's bed when we get home on Christmas Eve. When we get up on Christmas morning the stockings come first. Then we open gifts one at a time from youngest to oldest. There is always a new game under the tree from "Santa." This year we got the #1 rated game by Games Magazine -- Trajan. It took more time to read the instructions than to play the game. It is a very complicated game. I doubt we will play it very often.
Brendon, Brett's boyfriend, arrived on Christmas day from his trip to Minnesota.
Brett made us a Christmas vegan feast. I loved every bite but my favorites were the beet tempura...
and the vegan cheese cake with a dark rum sauce.
On the day after Christmas we went to see Les Mis and then out to lunch and for a walk around downtown Claremont. On the way home we realized that it was going to be a gorgeous sunset. It was clear all the way to downtown LA.
...and the sunset was worth seeing.
Brett and Brendon went home on the Megabus on Thursday. We drove them into Union Station but we stopped first at Sage -- a vegan, organic restaurant in Echo Park.
Matt headed north on December 30. The house seems sadly quiet. We took down our decorations today....until next year.
