Christmas in Toronto

Hey there:
      The following photos were taken either Christmas Eve at Greg's and Christmas morning at Greg's place in Oakville. From these photos you can see that we were enjoying getting ready for Santa as well as enjoying the moment on Christmas Day.
      As you can see from these photos everyone was having a good time. Nicole came to visit us during the afternoon on Christmas Eve as she spent Christmas with her mom in Oakville.
      Enjoy.
Cheers.
Barry

Christmas Party - Toronto - December 29, 2012

Hi there:
     On December 29 we held a get together in the Social Room of Cheryl's building where all the Staceys in the Toronto area got together to celebrate along with some of Greg's family and Cheryl's friends.
     A few people notably Greg, his dad Gib and his brother-in-law Loren were not able to make due to a bout of the flu. Christine's boys were working that day and couldn't attend. 
     Greg's mom Lorraine and his sister Christine along with his daughters, Sarah and Chelsea were able to make it. As well Cheryl's friend, Nicole along with her Aunt Rosalie and cousin Joey came along to enjoy the goodies. Cheryl's long time friend, Maria Kennedy came with her two children, Matteo and Naia.  Having met Cheryl's friends Dale Seymour and Julie Breen on previous occasions we were happy that this time they brought along their parents. Dale's parents, Dan and Sadie , who are from central NL had a good time and enjoyed some goodies from the Rock along with some conversations about home. As well Julie's parents John and Carol enjoyed the good old Newfoundland hospitality and the food as well. They tried cod nuggets, moose, wrinkles, bakeapples, etc. for the first time and enjoyed it all. 
     Below are some photos taken by Sarah and Chelsea throughout the afternoon and you can see the smiles all around.
     I will get around to posting some photos of the rest of our trip over the next few days.
Enjoy.
