we love weekends

Well, the Brewer family had another fun-filled weekend.

On Friday night, Mother took me to see Don Giovanni. You know you're at an opera performance in Chattanooga when, in the first fifteen minutes, Donna Anna's father is killed by Don Giovanni and, after witnessing the bloody mess, the person behind me in the audience lets out an audible, "Dad gum!" Ahh, culture...

Saturday night, we were lucky enough to be invited to dinner at the Miscio household, which is always a treat. This night, the menu consisted of delicious chili rellenos, black beans, rice, and Kara's insanely yummy guacamole.

Molly provided a little pre-dinner entertainment

Today, we took advantage of the glorious weather by going down to the playgound near Ross's Landing...

'twas the season

Sorry that it's taken me so long to give a holiday update--what with the stomach virus that hit us all like a ton of bricks, all the travel & visitors, and the cold that we're all now trying to shake--it's been hellacrazy around the Brewer house.

Here are a few highlights from our holiday...all in all, it was fabulous. It's always so nice to see family & friends that we don't get to see as often as we'd like.


Christmas morning started with hallelujah ham rolls & bellinis (sp?)...

after breakfast, it was on to opening gifts

We were lucky enough to spend a few days with some of our dearest friends that we hardly ever get to see. Matt & Kazu were in from Las Vegas & we enjoyed the hospitality of Matt's parents in Asheville.

here's Molly with her Aunt Kazu

Molly has never met a dog she didn't like--this one outside a restaurant in Asheville was no exception

Kazu made dinner for us one night. It was delicious--almost as good as when she made it for Jerad & me in Japan.
