Christmas Eve came round this year with a visit from the Portland cousins. Miraculously we captured some photos of all five. Below are Rex, Valerie & Amira with Anya & Maya.
Amira poses below with Adeline, Napoleon & Aunt Lydia.
Mocktails for the girls.
This year we had Christmas goose!
Here is the goose ready to go to the table.
Busy putting the finishing touches on dinner.
Maya selects her place at the table set for 14 of us.
Merry Christmas!
Rex and Michael discuss strategies for keeping the flame alive for the annual Christmas Eve snowball competition.
Alligator and Dave dine and maintain their flames.
Mmmm! Snowballs!
And we have a winner!
The kids could hardly wait for dinner to be finished.
Mr. Whiskers & Napoleon checked out the tree situation in case there was anything for them.
The adults gathered round to watch the kids unwrap gifts.
Here comes Santa Claus!
Anya, Adeline, Lydia & Paul.
Maya & Valerie.
Anya & Adeline.
Maya in her new beret.
Anya has one too!
Hats for everyone!
Uncle Dave is wondering if there will ever be a Christmas that Rex doesn't ask for a gun?
Christmas morning Valerie found Pumpkin (the neighborhood cat that loves everyone) at the door.
Michael & Tiff have eggnog in our Marty Moose cups and classy new apron in homage to Cousin Eddy.
And the rest of that goose made a nice Christmas Day cassoulet.
Merry Christmas it was!!!
