H-O-L-i-D-a-Y!

Today, we had a great Saturday. Had good friends over for brunch, then went to Janssen's Market from some pretty rockin' cheeses, then checked out the lights at the Longwood Gardens, and a yummy dinner.

The lights at Longwood, while pretty, were a bit anticlimactic. I am glad we are members and could just walk through and go home. The display wasn't very large and the parking was ridiculous. They kept making people park at this grass lot that was SUPER far away - while there were PLENTY PLENTY PLENTY of spots right by the entrance. The only reason I knew was because the previous weekend, I left at 5:00pm after a photo session and noticed the riff-raff those parking guards were doing.

Then, we grabbed some steaks and had ribeyes with a red wine reduction and sweet potatoes with blue cheese/carmelized onion/caramelized brussell sprout topping. It was delicious! Even with the brusel sprouts! Rounded out with amazing raw milk cheeses from Janssen's Market, which Michael loved!

That's it. Tomorrow is Liturgy of the Word with Children, which is going great! The kids are enjoying it and it is so wonderful to see it.
