Back Blip for Christmas and New Year 2

I know I am way behind, but rather than just skip them all, I am going to try to catch up over the next few days and then be a little more diligent.  No that is not a New Year's resolution - otherwise I am just asking for the kiss of death on my endeavours.  Anyway, this is Jamie's birthday party at "Wicked Butcher' one of our walking distance local eateries.  I don't know if there is any kind of value you can put on spending quality time over a meal be it a posh restaurant or at home round the table.  Anyway, this was a lot of fun, and Jamie's face says it all!  He is 40 years old this time, as our kids conspire to make us feel older as the years go by!
