Christmas Eve 2005

Tonight was a joyous celebration at the home of Nana Cynthia and Papa Jack in the company of friends and family. The Christmas Eve tradition with my wacky family is to enjoy Champagne while eating Chinese food - after which we view a silly movie (Caddyshack, Young Frankenstein, etc.). The party people in da house were: The aforementioned Grandparentals, Mom and Dad, Great-Uncle Bob Herzog, Anne-Marie Herron and husband Brett, Grammy Sam, and Brett's mom Karen Murphy and husband Pat Murphy.

The Champagne: Chateau St. Michelle
The food: Issaquah's Mandarin Gardens
The movie: Napolean Dynamite (frickin' sweet!)

Ahhh, Napolean Dynamite. An acquired taste I hear, and my family does LOVE this movie. But we love Raising Arizona too. Might you too? Let's see what you're made of!
