Happy (belated) Birthday, John!

So we went to Windsor and had our Christmas with Jason's family - 10 kids and 9 adults! It was great! Thanks so much to Ann for hosting, cooking, and generally entertaining the whole crowd of us! Dinner was great, everyone had an AMAZING time and I give all 10 kids credit for being really well behaved! Ann was also the one who had my name and she gave me a great book that I'm half way through already, "The incident with the dog in the night-time". Also a really nice sweater and camisole! I think I can be hard to buy for, but she really picked things I would have bought myself (if I were so indulgent!) Thank you, thank you!

It was another short visit, we left after the kids got out of school on Friday and were home by 11:30 Saturday night. I was pleasantly surprised that the kids slept on the way home...that's always the idea, but it doesn't usually happen. They were exhausted though. We spent Friday night at our friends Doug & Nancy's place and I don't think the kids were asleep before 11 but that didn't stop them from getting up at 6! The adults went to bed MUCH later since we were introduced to Guitar Hero!! Yeah, we loved it! Thanks to you guys too!

So today felt a lot like Boxing Day, tired and rainy and the kids were entertained with their new gifts...do we really do this all over again in 2 days?!
