It was quite a journey getting there but Christmas 2008 has proved to be one of the best on record. We were blessed to have my mom aka Gram with us this year. She arrived on December 23rd and went home on January 3rd so we had a nice relaxed visit with her. We haven't been able to have her come to see us as much since she started her eye treatments. December 24th proved to be the usual exciting time as Rob Kathy & Marg waited patiently for the kids and fur-kids to arrive. Finally we were up to our final tally of 12 people and & 7 dogs. Once the dogs got re-acquainted and the tree was prepared we settled in for a long winters nap which ended suddenly at 7 in the morning. The gifts were opened and oohed and ahhed over and then Tom Turkey was put in the oven. We were joined at dinner by Greg, Ali and Mary...always a welcome addition - We LOVE those girls...and Greg too. Boxing Day, Rob Kathy & Marg went to visit Uncle Gil and had a nice dinner out with him at Red Lobster. Dec. 28th was Gabby's shopping Spree day and it was a blow-out ! Lots of spectacular deals ! We had dinner & designer cupcakes on the 30th before the Marts & Silvas went to the Rangers game which was one of their Christmas gifts. We rang in New Years Eve with a Italian dinner and games night at the Marts. On January 3rd we hosted the Watson Clan Christmas dinner and it was fantastic to see everyone ! Hope everyone had a safe trip home.
All the best to all in 2009 !
