The plan is to have wagilia (traditional polish Christmas Eve dinner) at sunset PST on Christmas Eve. Then our extended family will arrive for limited present opening. Christmas morning will be our traditional family present opening followed by a pleasant day of sitting around enjoying the peace of Christmas Day. Come and join us.

My teenager is getting older and this weekend will be a birthday party. So look for kids in the kitchen and dining room (playing D&D) Saturday evening and eating french toast Sunday morning.

Merry Christmas!!! The whole family sends the best of wishes to everyone in the world. My you enjoy the good message of this day no matter where you are. The lights are flashing as people visit.

Since my mom has finally moved out of her old, gigantic house, the family Thanksgiving falls to one of the boys. This year, we’ll have all the family over to eat turkey and all the usual gastronomic pleasures of the holiday. Please stop by Thanksgiving day.

It’s another D and D day at our house. The teenagers are socializing and getting a little gaming done.

The carpet is being cleaned today (Monday 6/12) so the livingroom camera has been moved giving a slightly different view. Once the carpet is dry, things will return to normal.

All the kids are over for DandD. There is also a birthday involved so there will be cake and ice cream later.

We’ll be doing the usual Christmas Eve/Day routine. First Wagilia here at sundown then off to grandma’s for extended family Christmas celebrations. Christmas morning, my family and all my children and families will be here for the big present unwrapping. Hope you stop by. Merry Christmas.
