The Things of Christmas

This year, Christmas has been a little different than it's ever been before: in Florida... with all of our immediate family, as well as, all of Tiffany's immediate family. As I look through the photos of this holiday season, I see a few reoccurring themes - family, food, games, and Abu the cat! These were the things that Christmas was made of this year....

Family

My brother Ronald and his wife Tiffany with her family

Everyone around the Christmas tree for presents!

What a mess after all those presents!

Friends who came over for Christmas dinner.....that the same thing as family!!

Again, Ronald with Tiffany and her family (on Sabbath)

Tiffany with our family

All of us together.... one big family!

Food

There's been lots of good food this holiday season. This is only a tiny glimpse of it....

Games

"Catch Phrase" has been a favourite (kinda like Taboo, but not).

Sitting around, playing games.... we've also played "Apples-To-Apples", "Uno", and "Acquire"..... lots of fun!!

Playing "Acquire"...a game of stocks and bonds!

Abu, the Cat

We've all enjoyed playing with Ronald & Tiffany's baby, Abu! She's so adorable, with a winning personality. She loves to play.... she even plays fetch!! We've spent many hours playing with her and watching her silly antics!! Man, she can jump!!

She loved all the wrapping paper on Christmas morning!

Wow, that was exhausting!

Time for a nap with Auntie Brittany...
