Christmas Eve

A three ...XXXXX, two dog night

the Boudreau Family Christmas Party

It was at Tony and Suzy's  house. 
We had about 65 people.............and a couple families couldn't make it!!!

The friendship was wonderful and the food was great, especially the traditional baloney sandwiches!!

Of course, there was carole singing and Santa showed up for the little ones..............


Lights at the Mission Inn in Riverside, CA

Carol and I went to the holiday light show at the Mission Inn in Riverside, CA- it was designated at #1 in the country..............beautiful!!!
But, too crowded for dinner!!
