Festivus Is Over For Another Year....
Hey everyone! Hope you all had a Merry Christmas/Happy Festivus! I can't believe it's already finished. Although it's sad in one way, it's great in another because I'm completely exhausted! :)
We all had a fun and busy week! Lots of visiting, partying, the usual drill. The "main" party night was on Sat. the 23rd, which was the night Matt and Karine arrived from Ottawa. Everyone came over to our place, minus a few who couldn't make it due to the crappy weather we were having. This entry is all about that night, since it's the one I have the most pictures of. Before I get into it though, I will say that we all got together again on Christmas Eve and played Cranium and another new game called "Imaginiff"..which was really fun. Christmas night Coll and Dan arrived from Gornish and Matt and Karine came over. We all had a few beers, but everybody peeled out quite early. Later in the night I had a visit from Melanie, and the two of us stayed up till the wee hours gabbing..ha ha!
Boxing Day was a big bash at my sister Jen's place, it's our "Christmas" with Dad, Donna, Jen and Jody. It was storming that day, but we still all managed to make it, and we had a great time. Good food, and great laughs! Unfortunately I couldn't stay on for the party that night, everyone else did though, and they all had a blast! I was just way too burnt out for another night of partyin'! :)
It was decided that we'd make a trip to the camp for one night (on Thursday the 28th), so Wednesday we all pretty much layed low. Actually, Wed. night Matt, Karine, Mom and I watched Anchorman and laughed our asses off. (It was a gift from Nick..thanks!) I won't get into the camp trip details, as I'll be doing a post for it on the camp blog.
So, without further ado..I'll get back to Saturday night's party pictures. First up, a picture of the Christmas tree...
This is a group "table" shot, and I have many of those..ha ha!
I crack right up every time I look at this picture! Notice Matt's head..hee hee! It looks like he's wearing a beaver pelt or something..it's really Kari leaning into the fridge behind him. The look on Karine's face is pretty funny too! :)
The fridge is kinda cutting out part of this one, but oh well! It's the only one I have of everyone together (except for me, and Dad and Donna who were also here for awhile).
Matt and his "drinkin' shirt"...
Nick and Darcy singin' a tune..
Kari, Nick and Matt...this picture is kinda screwed up, but I figured I'd add it anyway. Actually a lot of pictures from that night are screwed up...but so was the photographer, so that's probably why! Heh heh..
Quite a bit later into the night, Karine had fallen asleep in the chair, and guess who decided to keep her warm? LOL
About the same time that Karine had fallen asleep, Matt was getting to the same point, except he was still upright! LOL...an 11 hour drive will do that to ya..and so will many, many beers!
Kari and her gin..ha ha! And Nick was lookin' a little sleepy too!
And finally, the three McGloin kids...too funny!
Festivus 2006 was a blast! I wish everyone could have been here...but there's always next year! Have a Happy New Year everybody!
All the best in 2007!

Hey Liss,
We had too much fun, Im already missing you all. Love the pictures, expect the one of me that turned out horrible. The picture with me jumping in behind Kari and Nick, if you look close... Kari`s eyes look like they are glowing red. That Gin must have really messed her up... ha ha ha.
We had a great time and I hope you all have a wicked New Years.
Love Matt & Karine
