Christmas in Pittsburgh

Alex and I spent this Christmas with Alex's family in Pittsburgh.  Alex only had Christmas Eve and Day off from work, so our visit was a short one.  We drove over to Pittsburgh as soon as Alex got off on the 23rd and left early in the morning on the 26th.  The visit was quick, but we had a wonderful time.  It was my first Christmas away from my family, but the Scheers made me feel right at home :)
 
Christmas Eve is Dave's birthday.  We had a super yummy raclette cheese dinner to celebrate.  For this dinner, you use little pans to heat sliced raclette cheese by sticking them onto the bottom shelf of the raclette maker (in the picture).  You use the surface of the raclette maker to cook ham or other meats, bread, fruits, or vegetables.  It is a very yummy dinner.
 
The gluten-free, sugar-free cake so that all party-goers could enjoy it!
 
Woo hoo!!! Santa strikes again!!
  
Alex got a new computer!
      
My big present was this beautiful ottoman!
    
I love it!
  
Rain boots for all those rainy Philly days!
   
Christmas dinner!
  
Merry Christmas!
