HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my Dad!!!!    He's 93 today and what an enjoyable day we spent with him.    Mark, Ryan, Liam, Connor and I left at 7:45 this morning.   Met Bob and Dad at the doctor office in Ottawa.   I stayed with them and Mark and crew went on.    Doctor visit went well and then back to the nursing home where we all partied...

Annette, Pat, Ryan, Linda, Mark, Jason, Bob and Jennifer

We had lunch, visited, played cards (euchre, 500 and war).   Opened presents, and enjoyed red velvet cake and peppermint ice cream.   Dad found out he's going to be moving to a new room much closer to the dining room.   The room has been freshly painted and is larger than where he's at now!

We got home at 5 and our good friends from Florida (Patty and Doug) came over to visit.   They are spending the holidays with family,.   Great to see them and look forward to being together in FL in March

No doubt about having a "White Christmas" - all white now and more coming tonight/tomorrow!
Hope you all "have it together" with your holiday shopping, wrapping, baking, cooking and any other final preparations!
