Christmas really started off with the Diack party on Saturday, December 22. We got home quite late from that, and had to be at Al & Lynn Cary's for brunch on Sunday morning.
On Monday the 24th, Cathy and Frank came over for dinner and Kathryn brought Pearl home to spend the next couple of days with us. Christmas Dinner was at Rob & Karen's this year, and we met Mom & Dad over there and exchanged gifts. Overall, a nice, stress-free, wonderful couple of days. Didn't even get dragged out to go shopping on Boxing Day ;-)
