Yes, this is a tad out of order but so what ... :)
Christmas 2012 was sad and wonderful for us. Sad in that we missed my Dad, and wonderful in that we were all together for Christmas with my Mom. We have not all been together in a long time - maybe at Mom's and Dad's 50th wedding anniversary dinner - so about 7 years ago. We had a chance to all share our memories of Dad and past family gatherings. He was definitely with us in spirit!
On Christmas day we gathered at the hotel where all of us were staying for appetizers and cheers, and a little gift exchanging. Then we went on to dinner at the Airport Marriott, which was very nice.

The next day, Boxing Day, we all went to the Air Canada Centre to see a Toronto Marlies game, with a little pregaming at the Real Sports Bar & Grill. What a great time on a freezing cold day! Even Kathy, Adam & Brandon came into town to join us for the game and dinner afterwards.
We also celebrated Christmas with the Gill family, enjoying a fun day with everyone at Kathy's home.
