Happy Christmas Eve......we've been in a whirl around here enjoying Michael, Brooke, Drew, Davis and Brady the past few days. After the "blizzard" conditions of Thursday and Liam and Connor's Christmas program being canceled, I took the NC boys to the show on Friday afternoon - Patrick was in charge of the lighting and sound and it was extra special! That night Anne and Patrick took all 5 boys to a hockey game (1st time for the boys from down south) and then enjoyed a sleepover. Michael, Brooke, Mark and I had a very nice dinner at Baxter's and then some good games of euchre.
Saturday we drove to Dixon and spent a fun gathering (84 strong) of Mark's family. Ryan, Philip and Annette came that afternoon. Sunday we spent the day at my brother Bob and Linda's and ALL my family were there (29) Even my nephew, wife and kids from Australia. This would've been Dad's 95th birthday. Sooo fun to have all our kids together this weekend. Michael and family flew home this morning.
Mark, Ryan and I went to breakfast with the Monday group and then Ryan was off shopping, Mark cleaned up a bunch of branches in the yard (still snow and ice) caused by last Thursday's high winds. I did some spiffying up of the house and a few things in the kitchen. We went to 4:30 Mass (Anne and family, Ryan, Mark and I) and then back here for hors d'oeuvres, soup and euchre)!
The stockings are hung by the chimney with care.......boys are so excited!
Well dressed little lads home from Christmas Eve Mass
MERRY CHRISTMAS to all and to all a Good Night!
