We spent the Christmas-New Year's stretch here at home in Cambridge, doing a whole lot of nothing... and it was great! The most complicated decision made each day was, "which direction should we choose for our walk today?"
We dashed up to Portland, Maine for a little vacation and thoroughly enjoyed Portland's charms. It's quite a foodie city, too - so we savored two memorable dates on the town. Street & Co. and Caiola's both lived up to the hype! L.L. Bean's flagship store is located about 15 minutes north of Portland in Freeport, Maine, so we made sure to drop by there, as well.
We rang in 2008 with dear friends Liz and Tom (we met in Copenhagen in 2005 and have serendipitously ended up in Boston together!) and a few bottles of good bubbly stuff.
The holidays have now been packed up and stowed away, the tree needles are all vacuumed up, and the molasses and cloves are back in the rear of the pantry...
We are so thankful for all that 2007 brought us!
Copious giftage and lovely holiday greetings from our family and friends.
