As we have already celebrated Christmas with our Fiala family in Cincinnati during Oktoberfest and also already celebrated Christmas with our Allen family in Seattle over Thanksgiving – we had a little Boston Christmas together here in cold Boston. We enjoyed our day together very much, making overnight coffee cake in the morning before going to church, making a stuffed pork loin for dinner, and baking a few pumpkin pies. It was a lovely day.

Thanksgiving in Seattle
We had a great trip to Seattle, visiting family and friends and seeing some old tourist sites. The mountain even came out for Josh!
Dad Allen’s site should have even more pictures up from this visit.

Seattle Health and Well Being Check
Jeannette headed back west to her parents for quick weekend visit to assure herself that all was well on the western front. It was a great visit with getting to see family and a new puppy, catching up on some family business and also taking some time to hit the shooting range.

St. Patty’s Day Parade
After church on Sunday we took Becky to see Boston’s famous St. Patty’s Day Parade. She got to see all the bagpipes and marching and everything else the parade is famous for. Afterwards we hit up Doughboy Donuts (another Boston institution) before having to take her to the airport. We had such a great visit with her! Come again soon Buck!

Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious
Becky came out to visit and we had a Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious time. Literally! We went to see Mary Poppins! It was absolutely amazing!
Actually the whole day was great! We had brunch with Gary and Daniel at Tremont 647 to start the day, then walked around our South End neighborhood, and then headed over to the North End for pastries and cappuccinos at Cafe Vittoria. We got to show her Josh’s ticket booth at Fanueil hall. And then we stopped for preshow drinks at a hotel bar near the theater and they had Mary Poppins themed drinks! So fun! The show was phenomenal – Bert danced on the ceiling and Mary flew over the audience! We loved the whole thing! Afterwards we went to the Beehive for a late dinner and drinks. A great day! Yay!
All photos, except the menu photo, are Becky’s.
Becky found these great YouTube clips of Mary Poppins:
