We had a lovely (white!) Christmas with Nic and Alison and Tim and Megan.   Culinary highlights included cookies galore (mainly made by Nic and Alison, who also brought a delicious homemade apple cake) and a beef brisket bought at the Nellysford Farmers Market and cooked as prescribed by Julia Child.  Oh yes, and a large “growler” of smoked scottish ale from the recently-opened Wild Wolf Brewery.  Outings included a hike up a snowpacked road to feed the cat of a dear friend.  Further family pictures may be accessed here.
