Another Family Gathering

My middle brother always hosts a family gathering for we siblings and families. Missing were my sister and her family who live 600km away in another province, a nephew who lives 200km away and a niece who had to work.  Everyone else managed to attend.  We all take appetizers and desserts and there is tons of delicious food to eat and plenty to drink.

 Son #1, my nephew Kyle and his wife Sarah and their 2 daughters Chantelle and Lydia.

Garry and I and my aunt Anne.  She hates it when I call her aunt as she is only 6 years older than me.  She is great great aunt to Chantelle and Lydia.  That title makes her feel really old,lol!!!
We had a great time visiting with every one and we look forward to this gathering every year.

Christmas Eve

What a great evening we had.  13 of us all together, family and friends.  Lots of great gifts, plenty to eat, the time flew by.

Due to sickness our Christmas day is now just the two of us.  Turkey breast is now back in the freezer, maybe we'll have it at new years.  It will be a nice quiet day,  Merry Christmas!!

Anniversary

Went out for a fabulous meal with our good friends to celebrate our anniversaries.  35 years for us, although we've been together for 47 years, and 40 for our friends.
