christmas with the parkers

i went to pembroke, mass. again this year for christmas. last year was my very first white christmas ever. this year, it was a bit spotty. there was snow the week before and it was slowly melting. ted and i were there for 3 full days and had two flight days. we had pizzeria regina every day we were there, including flight days. it's ted's favorite pizza ever.

historic filenes building in boston, mait was really nice to see his family. i met them last year and didn't really get a chance to get to know them, well, except for his mother. this year, i was able to chat with them more. with his sisters allison and kaitlyn, their significant others sean and tom, respectively. his cousins doug and joe as well as meeting doug's girlfriend meg. a bit with his uncle tom, not at all with his girlfriend mara. some with his aunt mary. and tons with his mom. i had a great time. can't wait to visit them again...

i hope everyone had a lovely christmas!!!

sorry for the lack of pictures, i made videos of my visit with my new camera (thanks ted!!). here's one... since macy's recently bought out filene's (robinsons-may, lord & taylor), who knows what the filenes building will look like next year.
