Christmas Eve and Christmas day 2013. 

Grab a 'nog and settle in for a very long post. 

 

The traditional Xmas eve Chinese dinner at the Estate. Jose goes all out with her decorations. 

Cozy fire.

Looking down from on high.

Left over pie.

These decorations have tea lights inside.

But the auto focus and flash makes for a blurry pic.

Not all the peeps stayed still, so I'll just name them and you can put names to any face you want. Of course Sir Edwin and Jose were at their own home, along with me and Grasshopper, TT, Bryan, Shirley, we can't forget Jaanisha, and Mary, too. You might not remember Mary, but she has been here before.  She is originally from Bay Bulls. It's a long story, and I mean it's a loonnngg story, on how she ended up in North Bay.

La chefette. my blog, my dictionary.

Grasshopper's famous chewy chocolate chip cookies.

Jose's famous mincemeat pies. Rachel, you snooze, you lose.

 

Christmas day in North Bay with the Brown Superkids. 

George had let the fire go out, on a cool morning. 

 

Nice 'rise.

George had also forgotten to turn the panels last night.

Merry Christmas.

After loading up the sleigh, going across to Bed Rock, getting the old Goat warmed up, and changing into "townie" clothes, we finally got to see Floyd.  Oh, and Rachel, too.

Floyd rocks all kinds of hats.

Calliope opening presents.

Super Nova.

That was fast, Nova!

Is that left over right and under?

"I just need a power nap."

"OK, let's give 'er."

"I find that droolie paper rips much easier." 

"Is this where the batteries go?"

Calliope has her first bracelet done.

Floyd is always the center of attention. Here he sittin' with cousin Molly.

"WAIT! She's not Momma!"

This is Rachel's BILy, Big Matt. What's bigger, the beer, or the smile?

Matt still hasn't let go of that beer.

Down the far end is Gerry, Floyd, Rachel, Nova, Joseph, Molly, Matt's nape, Calliope, Grasshopper, Sam hidden beside Sarah, and Linda. 

A very special thank you to the Slote family for allowing us to intrude on their day and letting us spend time with with the Brown Super kids. Thank you.
