Our seven girls laughed and talked and talked and ate and talked and opened gifts and played in the snow (yes, more on THAT in a minute) and talked and giggled, while the adults drank wine and talked and feasted and talked and drank more wine and talked. Glorious!
While the bigger girls chatted and snacked, the two youngest staked out the Wii set...
Back to the weather - we had left Toronto in sunshine and had a great (dry) drive to London, but within half an hour of arrival, the snow dropped! And so out they all trooped for some snow fun...
They came in happy with rosy cheeks and smiles...
Then a wonderful lunch - the table for the younger crew...
And an elegant and festive table for the mature group...
Crafts and presents and more time to catch up ...
And then it was time to face the trip home. Nick dug us out of the driveway (thanks Nick!) and we were on our way. My normal 1 hour 40 minute drive took 2 and half. Wow!When we reached home I breathed a sigh of relief. I looked around our neighbourhood of dry roads and lawns still showing green and just shook my head.

such lovely fashionistas -- all well coiffed and full of smiles -- glad you had a wonderful day.
Wish your second group had such an annual event -- heavy sigh.
Love, love, love that your first travel group still gets together -- I am imagining our group over the next decade and hope that we can maintain a similar connection.
Looks like a good time was had by all -- we loved the dumping of snow we got here, too!
Amazing to see them all so GROWN UP! I remember being there for the very first Christmas reunion... seems like another lifetime!
What a wonderful time big kids and little. It is great to see all the changes through the years! Glad you got home safely
Xoxo
