Bacheler Christmas

We had a great visit with Nate's side of the family this past weekend. Papa was on breakfast duty each morning. Uncle Dan and Aunt Molly got to practice their parenting skills (Owen's cousin is due in April!) Grandma seemed to win the 'get Owen to fall asleep' award for the weekend, and Owen met his first dog up close and personal. We had quite a spread for our early Christmas celebratory dinner - I slathered the 'Clark Gable' pork roast in garlic and rosemary and it turned out beautiful - juicy and flavorful. And my first try at baked apples was a big hit, too. Along with Grandma Pam's spinach salad and lots of sweet treats for dessert, we ate well.

Here's proof that Santa Claus came to our house....Dad helped Owen out with most of his present unwrapping.
The gang as we sat down to dinner...
And lastly, a funny parting shot of Owen entitled "Baby in Space"...

We hit the road for RI tomorrow - wish us luck on the two day car ride!
