Christmas

This year, for the first time, we went down to New York to spend Christmas with my sister and her family. The trip both ways was uneventful and the weather was great. We had a wonderful time. We swam in the hotel pool and played lots and lots of games. You have never seen anything like my dad playing charades or Mad Gab. His facial expressions, gestures and accents had us laughing so hard! The video won't load or I would share it with you.

We went out to their favourite Chinese buffet. Lynda told them it was Alec's birthday and the staff came out and sang to him. They gave him a cake surrounded by swans made from oranges and some vegetables. And they gave him a pretty bouquet of suckers.


Lynda read us a bedtime story Christmas Eve.

That must have been a fun christmas.

I'm assuming that it really is Alec's birthday.

Nah. We just wanted the free suckers.

Big family suppers like that are great fun!
