Christmas 2023
I was still recovering at Thanksgiving, so Elizabeth and family spent the holiday with Andrew’s mom in Ohio, while Matthew flew to Durham to be with Sharon. Needless to say, Mark and I were so excited to have everyone with us in Austin for Christmas. Matthew was the most faithful about decorating the tree with me, and Jack and Benjamin were more than ready to bake Christmas cookies and watch holiday movies. We all enjoyed our Christmas tradition of dining out at Eddie V’s. The same jazz combo was there that night, and the music was terrific, as always. This year, everyone went along with my wish to attend Christmas Eve service. It was a very special time.
