Our thoughts will be with those who will be gathering in London for the annual gathering.
Our Christmas was quiet…just relaxing and watching movies. Jonathan stirred just after 7 and went back to bed. Josh woke up nearly thirty minutes later and crawled back for some more sleep. We all finally gathered around the tree and with the fire blazing in the background opened our presents around 9:30 (far different from when we were in Winnipeg and the boys awoke just after 3 and would not get back to sleep. We opened the presents around 4 AM). Later today when I get home I will add a picture of our Christmas morning fire.
Jonathan’s major gift this year was a lap top. He also received a speaker system for his ipod and a selection of movies. Josh too received a speaker system, a second trombone stand (one for keeping at school and one at home), drum corps CDs and video, and a big music stand. Josh’s major gift is all the airline tickets has been consuming. Both boys received various gift cards…we have stopped figuring out what clothing to get them.
Again, on this Boxing Day…have a great time enjoying the day.

Hello from all the gang here in London. We had an eventful game of spoons, with Alison (Jason's fiance) joining in for the first time. She was quite the respectful lady. I guess we still have more to teach her!
We also added the Reilly clan to the day so we still had quite the crowd - 23 in all. We hope they were not too overwhelmed by our loud crowd. With the number of boys they have they probably are use to living in a constant state of confusion or noise!
Have to go now. See you next year.
By the way, love the fire!
It's too bad we don't celebrate Boxing Day in the States. I really enjoyed having that extra day of Christmas when we lived in Canada.
ah...the infamous log burning fire video. i wish i had thought of that - i would be laughing while rolling in all my money by now

We missed you guys. Hopefully we will be able to spend Christmas together again soon.
