Christmas season is underway

Welcome to Christmas 2011. We began with Carol's side of the family's get together last Sunday at Lois and Jim's for brunch and gift giving, also there were Ian and Alie, Elaine and Steve and Mark and Megan with their kids Brock and Lydia. Ian was put to work cooking Swedish pancakes and his cousin Mark cooked up a ton of bacon. Lois had made breaded cinnamon scrambled egg dish and other goodies. Elaine did a fruit soup and Megan brought her baked cheesy hash browns with corn flakes crumbled across the top made with lots of butter, mmmmm. None of us were watching our calories.

Carol shows off one of her gifts, a sign that says "Welcome, where we don't keep things bottled up" next to a bottle of wine.
