Christmas with the Kuhres

This year, Jeremy's family flew in from Provo and Texas for Christmas. It was great to have them here. On Christmas Eve, Jer and his family (I had to work) went to the Franklin Institute. They have a lot of really awesome, interactive exhibits there. One of them gives you age enhanced photos of yourself. This is Jeremy at 70 years old.

This picture scares me. Apparently this is best care scenario, without obesity or sun damage...love you Jer. We had fun doing all of our Christmas traditions with Jeremy's family. We went to look at Christmas lights, read the Christmas story, watched a Christmas Carol, and had a yummy Christmas dinner together. I made garlic prime rib, homemade rolls, asparagus and red mashed potatoes (it was the first time I had ever made prime rib and it was actually pretty easy).

On Monday night, Jer's dad took us out to a Italian restaurant in Philadelphia called Vetri. According to a couple of reviews, Vetri is the best Italian restaurant on the east coast. They only have a "grand tasting menu." They just bring you out random plates from the menu. Here is a link.
Some of the more adventurous items we tried were texas antelope, black angus tar tar, and chestnut fettuccine with boar and cocoa. It was quite the experience. Really yummy but I don't think my palette was quite refined enough for some of the items on the menu. We took our Christmas decorations down a couple of days ago and now our house is empty, sad and naked. At least there is Valentines Day to look forward to in a month.
