We were glad Erin and Jake could come.

Gene was happy we could all get together.
Wendy took down hors d'oeuvres to Gene's suite where everyone met around 4pm prior to dinner. In spite of the bad weather, Doug and Daphne drove in from Thorndale (12 miles northeast) They picked up their son Doug jr and their daughter Sarah. Sarah came by train from Toronto. Our daughter Erin and her boyfriend Jake brought our total to 9. (we were supposed to limit it to 8) We dined in Victorian style starting with a leafy salad, followed with a scrumtious turkey dinner with red and white wine and capped off with a delightful dessert. A piano player tinkled out Christmas carols in the central parlour. We had the early (4:45) seating, which was originally to accommodate Brad and Denise, all the way from Richmond Hill (120 miles) but they couldn't attend due to the storm. Sorry Daphne, I didn't get a usable pic of you.
