-Hosted Thanksgiving dinner for 7 of our friends, complete with sweet potato casserole, green bean casserole, and pumpkin pie squares. It was fun to bring a taste of America to the Emerald Isle!
-I also spent a lot of time in the kitchen baking Christmas cookies. Christmas goodies here tend to be of the fruit cake and mince pie variety, which I'm not a huge fan of, so I made my own favorites!
-Spent a weekend in Cork in early December as our Christmas gifts to each other. We had a lovely weekend, checking out the famous English Market and also the Christmas Market, relaxing in the jacuzzi, and eating some great food.
-Took in the Christmas Market at the Docklands in Dublin again this year. It didn't have quite the atmosphere as last year, as there wasn't any snow, but we still enjoyed drinking cider, listening to music, and browsing the stalls.
-Enjoyed Afternoon Tea at the Westin Hotel in Dublin on a December Sunday afternoon, then strolled along Grafton street, taking in the Christmas lights and displays in the shop windows
-Spent Christmas in Louisburgh with Paul's family. We relaxed and ate way too much!
