The Tree

We went to the Grotto Christmas Eve to look at the Festival of Lights. Neither of us had been there before. It was a pretty great display of lights not to mention the fact that we ran into a couple of friends we hadn’t seen before. Weird place to run into friends, and a strange time, being out on Christmas eve and all, but it was nice to see them.

Weston and the Ref

Weston enjoying his favorite Christmas present. He’s wrestling the ref. This picture cracks me up and is one of my favorite moments from Christmas day.

He’s one big fella. Weston was beside himself with this guy. Didn’t quite know how to take all the huge-ness that is Luke. A few more visits together and they’ll be fast friends.

Fire Starters

Christmas day was pretty grand all in all. A lovely relaxed morning opening our gifts to and from each other, a really nice phone call with Mary and Martin, the advent of snow falling (something that hasn’t happened here for a long long time), and then a great dinner at Mom and Don’s complete with great company provided by mom, Don, Phil, Steph, Maggie, Molly, Shelley, Nate, and Luke. It was a very good day.
This picture, if you’re wondering, is one of Phillip’s presents from Don. They are fire starters. A little lint, a little wax, and some egg carton and I guess you’re good to go. Who knew?
