December 2 was Lisa’s birthday, but her celebratory dinner was on December 6. After doing some Christmas shopping, we all had dinner at one of her favorite restaurants, the Red Lobster in Fredericksburg, Virginia

As for her actual birthday, we had a small celebration on that evening, too. The evening included:

• Italian Lasagna
• Chocolate cupcakes
• Smirnoff Ice
• One of the latest para-normal mystery novels
• Two stories of the classic Dr. Who, from the
  Patrick Troughton era

This year has been a crazy one! There was that car accident, and my mom’s passing. But there was also some amazing travel, and some great times with the kids!

Let’s see what the next one brings!
