Family Time

December 22 - December 28, 2011


Enjoyed a good week with my daughter, her husband,
and his family in San Antonio.

Good times, good food
and
Holiday Traditions

I should have taken pictures of all the good food. My family's Christmas Eve traditional Polish meal of pierogies, polish sausage, mushrooms and beets alongside the traditional Tamales from Karl's Texas family. Liv cooked a Goose with Oyster dressing and cornbread stuffing with all of the usual side dishes on Christmas Day.


We all stayed at Karl's moms house, Thanks Liv.  I parked in the driveway and it worked out great.

  1. Interesting blending of cultures, tamale and pierogi. Not something you see on the same table often. Glad you had a nice Christmas.

  7. Looks like you had a good Christmas with family! I thought about going to SA to spend the time with my sister, but I can't do that kind of driving right now. I love the riverwalk! Thanks for sharing the pics, it's quite pretty with the lights.
