Every party requires some prep. At least Sparky made it for this. Thanks to all who helped out here.  

Many thanks to Lynda's elves who lovingly made the table centre pieces  

Enroute to the party through Pembroke, a double rainbow captured, a Christmas miracle perhaps?  

Some of the toys. Thanks again to Tony and Connie for opening up their house and hosting again  

The Christmas revellers begin to gather and mingle  

The aperitif room and folks are busily answering the skill testing Christmas quiz provided again by Mac and Sherry. I've forgotten who prevailed but it wasn't yours truly  

Hard to discern who's the real Santa  

As the one and only Marine Corps Aviator, the Great Santini would famously say," Chow down on me Hawgs". Funny line in an excellent movie and just sorta fits  

The Blasko's being photogenic  

Quiet time in the kitchen  

Quite the turkey dinner. Thanks to all the cooks  

I guess when Rick was a kid he couldn't go back for seconds...  

Stevie and Leah provide a pose with Christmas toast  

John and Margo under the Christmas arch  

Bruce and Janet's secret Santa gift made the rounds.  

Earl and Linda under the Christmas arch  

Rick and Mary wishing you and yours a Merry Christmas. Geeze Rick, nine tiny reindeer south of Quadville. I am jealous  

Nancy and Jeff who were key to the success of the festivities  

Kim and Kevin strike a Christmas pose  

Mac and Sherry, we almost need a taller arch  

The Robson's  

Shannon, Tommy and the monster charcuterie board  

The hosts, Connie and Tony with their new Christmas Gnomes  

Stevie and Leah wish everyone a Merry Christmas  

Nancy and Rick, seconds anyone? Good luck in the new house but hope to still see you next year  

Kirk and Lynda and Zoe  

Sorry Dan and Harlene. Not my picture and this website program insisted that you would defy Christmas gravity  

Rick finally getting seconds from Johnny  

Bruce and Janet get the last Christmas wish. Like to see ya heel and toe with those puppies. And to all a "Goodnight"
