Simpson Christmas Party 2010
We had a happy gathering yesterday. The kids all got along great with much running around . No one fell down the stairs, adult or child. Our Fiesta de Navidad included chicken tortilla soup, cream of squash soup, picadillo with chips, Mexican cheesecake, orange and toasted almond salad, biscuits, flan and Christmas cookies. Wish our Maine Simpsons/Malmquists could have been here too, maybe next year. Wish someone else had taken some pictures too as mine are not the best. It was great to see everyone!
Our Mexican themed arbol de Navidad also has a very lovely French butterfly that fits right in. Thank-you Jake.
George (looking very trim, 20 lbs down, way to go George!) and Thatch and Mexican cheesecake. Thats Francoise's beautiful sister Victoria in the background.
Abbie was quite taken with Will, a good-looking guy with gorgeous hair, blue eyes, and hes just my size!!
Flan
"Lady please we've just met".
The kids room looked like a bomb hit but everyone had fun in there.
Harper we missed you.

marg, as you've done so many times over all these many years, thanks for bringing the troops together.
best of all for me was young hunter's articulate summation of moby dick; quite something. we both agreed ahab would've been better served forgiving rather than seeking vengeance against the great whale who'd offed his leg.
Yes, thanks again Marg and Jim! It really was such a nice day. So great to see the little and big kids all having such a great time together. The food, of course, was delicious. It was really great to have the opportunity to catch up with everyone so thanks for making that happen. Those who couldn't make it were definitely missed. Hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas! (Hope this makes sense as Leah and WIl are currently running around my legs as I type) Laura
Being an expert in the field of consuming things sweet, I can say with authority that the flan was to die for.
Sounds (and looks) like a great time was had by all. Sorry we missed everything, especially the little kids--and the flan! Merry Christmas to all.

Thank you Marg and Jim for having us all over and for the lovely meal. We look forward to the day you will be in PAris again so we can invite you for dinner! I was very happy to see everyone, as were Francois and Victoria. A very Merry Christmas to all.
