Christmas Day...Friends and Family

Christmas was good. Slept in, for me at least. Staying at my friends place I waited until everyone was up before getting ready with the camera. Gifts were exchanged and a few pictures were taken. Kids, always playing with the cardboard boxes....



Then again, jumping into a pile of styrofoam peanuts has to be fun I guess...


So, it was off and letting the faithful minion clean up her mess. Time to spend time with my mom and brother. Of course there was a cat to terrorize with a camera and flash.







Tables had to be set, and food prepared for the great Christmas Feast.


A bird had to be prepared as well.

Then the food was placed and we all dug in...well no pictures of that. After all I was busy feasting.


After all that it was time to rest, relax, and eventually sleep. A good day was had by all, even Aramathea who put up with my mad stalking skills.

Ahhh, Thanksgiving!

Well this past long weekend was Thanksgiving for us Canadians. I was lucky that I was with a few friends for this yearly repast and feast. My belts been let out a few notches, my turkey hangover is almost done, just two more months before I have to think about losing weight....
