Back to the farm and folks started arriving: Weezer, Fran, Nancy, Russ, & my cousin Mark and his entire family that we don't get to see often enough; Beatrice, Melana, Amanda & Isabella. Paulette arrived in the ditch at the end of the road and I ran down to hep get her out, FREEZING, and Mary & John completed the list. We had a nice lunch and then the kids were gone... Out to the barn to hunt cats and down the hill on sleds over and over. It was only 22 degrees out, but they didn't mind. They would come in, get warm for a minute and then right back out...
We did manage to get everyone in one room long enough to sing 'The 12 Days of Christmas' (3 times at the children's request). I have a sample here...
Time was up, we all had to head home, but we made some great memories and had a blast doing it. I wish they lived closer...
On the road and J&G sacked out in no time. Home and got things unpacked, watched the rest of 'Nanny McFee' and off to Bible Bangers.
