Kevin and I went to a few Christmas parties and he looked great! Here we are after Lessons and Carols at Trinity eating his favorite Kung Pao Chicken at Miyos.
Miriam and family (Rachel came instead of Daniel) dropped by on Christmas Eve. Here is a toast with Preston Punch (white grape juice with ginger ale and cherries in the ice ring)! The Sneads came by also. Our Christmas Eve party has shrunk from the days when we could hardly fit everyone into our little blue abode on Parkman Drive.
Paul and Ben
Paul took most of our Christmas photos and here is my favorite. Mary and Becky holding us in the late 1950s--a Main Street photo with dates. The boys (both dead, I believe) have been removed!
Francis can't stop playing the Beatles music!
Zach, Thomas, and Paul
Nikki, Paul, and Zach
Christmas am opening presents (Jake's to me got a prize for the best wrapped!) and wearing new goods--my new necklace from Kevin and his new hat!
We had a good lunch, remembering our Helen with her favorite dish--roasted vegetables with couscous and salad on top.
And then Paul and I went to the cemetery and burned the Polish candle that Ania brought at Thanksgiving. We miss Helen, especially at Christmas which she loved so much.
Paul had to leave on Christmas night. The next day, we went to see the new Star Wars film.
Francis did a little shopping with his Christmas money, here at ColaKicks!
And practicing driving--he did great (when his eyes were open).
We visited the Farm.
Francis Pop in the Music Room
Party at a neighbor's house
Games on the Tennis court.
A daily farm chore for Annie--moving hay from storage to horses behind her barn.
Dinner at the big house--Children's table
And the grownups!
We had a nice dinner at Chai Pani
And back on 1432 Medway Road
