Christmas Day 2019

So it is Christmas, 2019. Soon a new decade will start but for today it is the perfect day to share with family. S had coffee set to go early which we enjoyed around a fire. Kaylin was up fairly early to join in. She was hungry so I started making crepes then rousted Shaina to join in.

these next 4 photos are submitted from Sheldon

I snapped a few photos of the finished valet quick

Britt eventually came out to eat left over crepes and spend the day with us. They opened gifts from Gran and Grandy as Mom packed up her bags and such. I caught Jessie and loaded her up and they were on their way back to Oyen. Shaina kindly gave the horses their pills today and helped Gran load her stuff too.

Kyle arrived just after 3 passing Mom on her way out of the gate. He however did not know the gate code nor had cell service so started walking to the house when I spotted him. Kaylin drove down to meet him so he could bring his car back to the house. The girls were mid gift exchange which was the usual mass chaos of paper and ribbons flying.

B checked the horses on her way to town before 5 to pick up Dave who had driven down in a rental car from the north country. They exchanged gifts quickly before coming back out to join us for supper that was all ready to go cooking faster then planned.

We enjoyed a good supper ( turkey was a bit tough in places) before game night ensued. Jacob joined us after his long day at work, drive thru Calgary to shower quick. Kyle was off to the city after 11 and Kaylin was off to bed feeling tired with her cold she brought back from Mexico. Jacob was off to bed after his long day at midnight, The 5 remaining played smear for game then Britt and Dave headed to town after 1. (Dave leaves for the north at 4:30 poor guy) S and I cleaned up the kitchen and unloaded the dishwasher before going to bed. Of course I had to watch a few YouTube videos to unwind before shutting off the lights.
