Christmas

I took much fewer photos at Christmas than normal.  I do have more than this, but since I am doing a blog-blast - I am going the minimalist route!

It was so great to have the kids home around Christmas.  Matthew was able to "work from home" Christmas Eve and Christmas Day (down in our basement).  Alas no computer emergencies for his company on these days (they do educational software), but someone always has to be "on", just in case.  Joel and Carolyn were home for about a month, which was so great.  Ken went to get his mother on Christmas eve.  There was terrible weather the few days before and so we waited.  (also I had a cold  earlier that week and we wanted to make sure it was gone)

Here we are having Christmas Eve game night.....Matthew worked until 7, then we had Chinese food and played games.  Then we went to 10 PM Mass.  Beautiful.

Tango and Cash came back for a visit while their Hospice providers went to visit family.  They were very good pups and it was VERY COLD.  We haven't had pups in the cold weather much if ever.  Last time they came we took long walks...this time they were out and in!!!  They still love their sun-beams.
