Christmas 2010

It was a fun Christmas for the Lois family! We celebrated with Matt, Katie, Jenna and Adam on the 23rd - and then mom, dad and I celebrated with each other on the 24th/25th. Still one more big family party to go on the 1st!
















Dog Days...

Otis had a fabulous time with his new Christmas gifts....

... and during and after it all, he rested! :)















In the Kitchen...

Since I've started dating Dan, I've been cooking a little bit less for a few reasons - 1) we've been going out to eat, 2) he's been cooking for me and 3) it's the holidays and mom & dad have been cooking.

But, I got back to sweet old Chicago the other day and had the opportunity to cook a few meals for myself! The yummy creations below are....

Southwest Rice & Beans

Ham, Spinach & Egg Scramble

Can't wait to listen to my This American Life jump drive during the long commute!
