You'll have to remember that we've no other parties to go to, living here in the boonies. I sure had fun at this one!
Dec. 26th, while we were out walking, there were preparations! Jean-Luc had dinner in hand.
Aster plays bass clarinet. She's been invited to perform with the Ottawa student bands in a Spring event. Much fun! She's in the Jazz band, as well.
Jo is a crafty as Aster. Jordan took the stickers from our crackers and made what he called cootie catchers.
Turkey and dinner prep on its way.
Aster was in charge of the ice cream!
Sneaky Joseph took a drawing of mine and had it put on the cake! It's a lousy shot, as I had the wrong setting on the camera! Oh well. Cakes are meant to be eaten. It was so pretty, with sprinkles.
The kids went back home, we had a good time with walkies and a long game of Skip-bo. Mostly it was good to catch up with them all. They've another week off until school and work calls them back. I'm going out to play with trailcams today. It's going to rain on top of the snow. Foggy, and it's going to be a mess.

Part;y due to kids going back and forth, we don’t do the traditional Christmas dinner, but I do miss it. They are good to remember.
Skip-bo was one of my favorite games to play with kids and parents. So much fun.
Happy Birthday to you!
What a great time you all had.
:)
The turkey and the cake look yummy!
Take care and enjoy these last few days of 2024.
I wish you all the best in 2025, Happy New Year!
Your birthday does look to be well celebrated! I loved the cake with your own painting made into frosting. Too bad it was eaten away! Cootie catchers are so clever, though way too tiny for my fingers. Hope your weather is ok, ours so far seems to be weathering the rain, no winds to speak of here.

Aw, you got spoiled. Quite right too! YAM xx
This looks cozy, fun and perfect! I love your birthday celebration and that great cat shirt! I remember cootie catchers and liked but never know how to make them. What a great day!
It looks wonderful and I am so happy for you.
A good time was had by all.
How nice. Looks like you had a nice family get together.
Everybody had a fun time and I hope the young ones will keep up the tradition.
What a fantastic celebration!
I think a good time was had by all ... lovely to see.
Sending my good wishes for the coming New Year.
All the best Jan
That's right. We don't get out much so we enjoy it more when we do. Glad you had fun Aloha
