Brr Christmas 2021 is a cold one with -25 start. Harley is def not a fan of this weather. Coffee was enjoyed while relaxing in bed. S and I exchanged gifts then got the brunch going after starting a fire and put the roast in the slow cooker. I whipped up a coleslaw dressing then refilled all the diffusers I have running around the house to help kill airborne germs :0) before jumping in the shower. Britt and Dave joined us for brunch and of course roomie virtually from her room. I called Dad before Mom, Dale and Vance arrived for a visit this afternoon.
Games began which were the theme of the day. Dave taught us a new game called Tar Bish; a PEI exclusive. We also played more racetrack rummy he taught us last night. Of course we had many other usual card games too.
B took a break to feed the horses in the bitter cold but says without the wind the bitter -25 seemed warmer then yesterday. Beibs entertained us finding Harleys soccer ball.
Kaylin arrived around 3 with Lexi in her cone after her eye surgery. Cards included Shaina virtually as well. She had Lexi with her for a short visit too. I took a break to prep and get the veggies in and S carved the roast. Supper was delicious eve though simple. Dessert brownies and ice cream followed it up.
Then it was back to the games with K, S and I playing a board game while B and D went to play some ping pong then back to the cards for us all. Shaina joined in for dice too. We even fit a virtual visit with us all with Grama and Papa ;)
Kaylin loaded up Lexi and ended back to the city at 10:30. We loved having them both for driving out to join us for the day. It seems though S missed a text from her having tire issues on the way home in the extreme cold but she did arrive safely after stopping to fill with air in Langdon. B and D then handed us a butt whooping at canasta not once but twice! They were off for home at 1:40! I started the new season of Emily in Paris. What a great day even with all the challenges with weather and illness.
