It's a slightly overcast day, with a light snow falling. The trees are covered, making it a picture perfect morning. It's quiet at the Denny house this morning, but in the next couple of days I know that will change.
We spent a lovely Christmas Eve last night. Lloyd and I went into town to the service at the Salvation Army church. It was lovely to finally meet Lloyd's boss and his wife and daughters. It was a lovely service with lots and lots of Christmas carols. Some were sung by the children and it was a perfect Christmas Eve.
On our way home, we stopped in at the Van Gaals, who had also just returned from their Christmas Eve mass. The house was filled with people, lots of chatter and excitement. We enjoyed a lovely meal that Brenda and Meghan had prepared earlier in the day as they waited for Caitlin to get home form Edmonton. It took a while and she finally got here - without luggage - but I'm sure they would rather have her home than the suitcase with the Christmas gifts in it! She' s really hoping it turns up before she has to fly back out west.
It was a lovely evening and we much appreciate being invited to share in one of their time honored family traditions. We will once again be imposing this afternoon, as we are invited to their home again for Christmas dinner. They really are true friends and for that we are very grateful.
So, a big Merry Christmas to all of you and we'll catch up again on Friday!
