Finally here!

On Christmas Eve we dined at Mark's house and enjoyed the fruits of a wonderfully abundant life... champagne, scampi, salad, smoked mozzarella mushroom lasagne, ricotta cheesecake, cookies, wine wine and more wine....life is good!

Mark and Neal put it all together.  Everything was amazing!

This is what dreams are made of.  Food of the Gods, beyond delicious.  Once a year bliss....can you tell how much I love this lasagne?

Rum balls, Mexican wedding cakes and biscotti:

Enjoying my ice wine in a tiny little glass:

Christmas finally arrived.  Zuri helped us open presents.

Then off we went to visit our family.  Here we are with our dear (OMG, you're almost 21!) niece Cecelia.

The day after Christmas - I can't believe I found myself at Don Cucos but Mario was in town so the party continued....

Walking it off the next day....

A visit with Vince's family...

 With Mom and Uncle Bob in Santa Barbara....

New Years Day atop Mt. Feuer.  Loved the icy weather - who wears a coat in L.A. in the day time?  I do.  It was 50 degrees!

Behind the scenes of the photo shoot.  Vince and Richie dressing the safe...stuffing it full of candy.

What a star!

It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas....

More fun with props....
