Christmas Day

 What a wonderful Christmas Day.  We got 7" of snow yesterday and last night and after sleeping in a bit, woke up to sooo much beauty!!!     Ryan, Mark and I had breakfast and then the guys went out to shovel and use the snow blower.   Talked to our parents, Michael, Brooke and Philip.
The tree, stockings, presents and fire all waiting....

Anne and family arrived about 11 and we gathered 'round the tree to open presents which the boys handed out - such fun to see their joy and excitement!   
Grandpa with favorites - grandsons and chivas!!!

While the boys napped, we played 5-handed euchre!   And then Uncle Ryan and boys set out to build some snowmen...

Our neighbor, Candy came over at 4:30 and we visited, had dinner and exchanged gifts
Candy got a blanket, wine and muchies to get her thru the winter!!!

After dessert, we gathered 'round the piano and sang carols with Patrick playing.

Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!
