Happy New Year!

Happy 2013!  I have to say I love how these holidays fell this year--two 4-day weekends in a row!

Christmas was a great time with family.  Christmas Eve was spent with Ed's side of the family.  After Christmas Eve Mass, we headed to Hardwick to celebrate with a potluck and Yankee Swap with our niece and nephew Missy & Dennis and various extended family (some people I don't even know!).  It was a nice evening and it was great to see my great nieces and nephews--William, Grace, and Bryce.  Christmas morning Ed, Dan, and I exchanged gifts and we could have just stayed home in our jammies but we were off to my Mother's to celebrate with my side of the family.  Another fun-filled day exchanging gifts, eating way too much food, and just enjoying each other's company. My only complaint is that the day was over too quickly.

Dan was back to work Wed morning.  He came back home Friday nite and was off again Monday morning (New Year's Eve day) since he had to work that day.  Him and Nate then went into Boston to celebrate New Year's Eve and Ed and I did our usual stay home and watch the ball drop on TV.

Happy 2013!
