Christmas

Here we are at Christmas Breakfast at the Readings. With their four children, her mother, son Liam's friend Nadine, two Elders, two American girls and us, we were a crowd. I think we went through at least 100 pancakes and a whole bottle of maple syrup! Brother and Sister Reading must still have been in the kitchen when I took the picture.

Yes, they actually light candles on the Christmas tree!

And then they add sparklers, like we have on the Fourth of July! No-one caught on fire (although we had two "warm calls"). And the house didn't burn down!
