The Longest Night

We capped the weekend off with our traditional Longest Night family gathering. The tradition is simple. Get together as close to the solstice as possible, have fun, give out PJs, housecoats, slippers, or anything that has to do with sleeping. Then have more fun. So this year we gathered for a wonderful dinner. I had picked up Pam's mum earlier in the day. Josh, Lin's bf, was in attendance, as was Derrick, Em's bf and his two year old son, Nathaniel. We had a huge roast chicken diner, with fixings galore, then retired to the living room for egg nog and the traditional handing out of PJs. Those who wanted to put them on (Josh wearing his for most of the holidays!) and we went back into the kitchen for a game of cards. All in all a great night, fun was had by all.
