Christmas with the Marsh Birds

1. Christmas at the Marsh/Bird’s December 2007

2. As we sit and watch the mundane scenery from our window here in Deep Cove, we reflect on our recent sojourn to Langley for the annual Christmas get-together.

3. It was a time to reconnect with friends

13. It was a chance to pursue our communal passion… Eating!

15. … and drinking!

19. It was a time to discover just…

20. Just how darn sexy Louise looks with a moustache

21. … and Ken with Kitty ears

22. Just how good Joyce felt to see the look on Jim’s face when he tasted the cake she had made specially for him

23. Just how bad Stephan was at flying that little bug…

24. … and just how good Paul was at Kosherland (prectice, prectice)

25. Just how good a glass of wine tastes when you’re snuggled on a warm couch in your jammies

26. Just how frustrating that puzzle was …

27. … especially the yellow part

28. Just why it is that Ken doesn’t eat soup with a spoon like the rest of us?

29. Just how good it feels to laugh with close ones …

30. … and get silly …

31. … and sillier …

32. … and sillier …

33. … and kinda cute!

34. Just how excited we can all get over a $15 greed gift

39. Just how amazingly quiet it got when the word games came out.

40. You could hear the mental wheels grinding ...

41. … and see the brows furrowing

42. We had the time of our lives…I saw a man and he danced with his wife Who had TWO glasses of wine!

43. Then there was this other guy who danced with someone else’s wife.

44. A wonderful time was had by all.

45. Many thanks to our charming host and hostess
