The Day After Christmas

We spend our day preparing for our family Christmas celebration which is tomorrow evening. We set up tables in the garage, did a bit of cleaning and shopping.

0But, before all the work, we went across the woodlot to my sister-in-law’s place to see her children and grandchildren. Anne is on the left, and next to her is her friend Kathy.

1 (2)She came to our house to borrow some brown sugar, because one of the boys was making “monkey bread” for brunch.

That is how I learned that all three of her children were in the area – Jessica, Neil, and Kevin.

1 (5)This was our first time to meet Abe (with his mom, Becca).

1 (8)He smiled every time he noticed that I was taking a picture of him.

1 (23)After all these years, I still do not know my twin nephews apart – unless they are with their wives or sons, so I am not going to try to say which is Neil and which is Kevin.

Neil is married to Hillary. Their son is Lincoln.

Kevin is married to Becca. Their son is Abraham.
