This Christmas happened in installments! First, we had a wonderful week with John and Jess culminating in a mini-Christmas morning with them on Friday Dec 22nd. Then, Kate and Leah arrived, and we had a lovely afternoon together until John and Jess flew away for a Caribbean Christmas with the Tinkers in St. Maarten . Nanna & Poppa also came for dinner and overnight, so we had our second mini-family Christmas.



On Saturday, Ellen and Eric and Adam and Caitlin arrived and we had another lovely family day. Then, on Sunday morning, Jessie and Sean and Alex arrived in time for a big brunch. Nanna & Poppa came back, and the rest of the day was a blur of presents and laughter and wonderful four-generational family fun, even though it was a green Christmas! Adam & Caitlin slipped off to Sarnia for the Murphy clan festivities, but the rest of us played until it was late on Christmas Eve...


The next morning there was just time for a last rock before sprucing up and kissing goodbye, then everyone was off to another day of family festivities, leaving us behind to spend a very quiet 25th recovering from all the fun. Merry Christmas, everyone!
