Christmas #2 for 2014
Four generations of the Curry family that gathered together today. Ah, yes. The ugly sweaters came out in full force.
Today Dennis’ family gathered to celebrate the 2014 Christmas. The family is ever growing and as with many families it is hard for everyone to be at the same place on the same day. Of the five children, two of Dennis’ children and their families could not be in St. James today.
Not very many years ago, the grandchildren moved on up from the kid’s table to the main table and there were no more little kids. Today, there was a little kid’s table where three of the great granddaughters enjoyed their meal. The remaining two great granddaughters were each wrapped in a cuddly blanket napping.
Daughter Sandie’s home was filled with commotion, as it had not seen for some time. The galley kitchen did not let the multiple cooks intimidate it. The little ones were put through the line first and then settled at their table and the adults followed to fill their plates and pull up a chair for a sit down dinner.
The ugly sweater contest brought out some real enthusiasts and some very good sports.
Grandpa Dennis and I called it an afternoon. It is what we have enjoyed for years, that is that, and we were home just as night fell. As we left, the dice games were about to start for the adults. The great granddaughters were settling in to watch the DVD Frozen for one more time. Priceless.
