For our typical Christmas family gathering, we flew to Halifax after work on the evening flight. After arrival, we stayed overnight at a nearby airport hotel.

Thankfully the weather was good in the morning for Kim and my dad to pick us up. We arrived in time for lunch and started the season of excess. Between Cathy’s extensive menus, supplemented with my Mom’s Christmas baking, we were very well fed.

We had a relatively mild weather for a dog walk on the property

We had a lovely dinner and a night of games and visiting.

For Christmas, it looked quite cold, but we were able to get out for a brief walk between eating, visiting and game playing.

Before we headed to our evening flights from Halifax, we had time for another afternoon feast to make sure that we were fully prepared for our trip home.
