Christmas

JFJ — Sun, 25 Dec 2011 22:26:56 +0000

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.

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.

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.

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!

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:

We missed photographing some of the fun memories of making cookies and putting together puzzles with Grandpa (we were too busy making cookies and putting together puzzles) but here are some of our pictures. You can check out more photos of the fun on Thadd’s blog, or on Shannon and John’s, or on Mr. Allen’s.

Jeannette was also lucky enough to be back in Seattle at the right time to catch a Dance Rehearsal for her old Academy and to see Becky perform. It was fun seeing the hubbub and craziness of rehearsal again, kids running around like mad, and the general chaos.

Jeannette made a quick trip out to Seattle to see Becky’s commencement for her MBA (yay Becky!). It was gorgeous Saturday, The Mountain was out (our grandparents’ have an amazing view).
