A Christmas Celebration

A couple of weeks ago we had the A. family Christmas celebration.  While we did all the same things as other years, it was really different with out Rich & Cher, Luke, Laura, Caleb, Corin & Yvetta!  We sure missed you.  We thought about you a lot though, especially as that was your moving day.  Sure glad that you're in a house of your own again.

Dad & Mom hosted the festivities this year - it has also been awhile since they did, and the first time in their current home. It actually snowed a fair bit that afternoon - thought nothing like what they've been getting this week!   Just enough to make the drive home a bit messy for the first while.  Rob and I saw 3 cars in the ditch in the first 10 km.

A good time was had by all.  We ate, we talked, we ate, we opened presents, we ate.  Here's a few pictures from the day.  

The top right picture in this collage - the three girls were having fun pulling this crazy face!



Allison, Faith, Mary-Beth & Kate each received a pair of nice warm slippers from Grandma & Grandpa - they modelled them for me :)


We're so thankful for our family!
