Mom used to have a big boxing day meal for the Byrne family when we were still the "kids". We all still poke fun at the "kids table" that most of us sat in well into adulthood with some hope of eventually graduating to the "adult" table.

This year my cousin Jennifer and her family have abruptly moved home (much to my glee) and the tradition saw a comeback at thier spotin the East End. Three of the Byrne "kids" were in attendance (Jennifer, Brian and Frank) and Nancy called while we were there. Ed, Jon, Ken and Sharyn, some friends and relatives from the Byrne side. Mom, Dad, Dan, his lady friend Leanne and her son Ryan all went. Also, instead of one or two cooks this was a potluck and there was some damn tasty food!

Sadly Joe missed out on the event. He spent most of the day at the hospital about his bad back and I suggested he stay home to rest it up. It was hard trying to get through the day with the 3 kids, feedings, baths and trying to cook for the potluck on my own. By the time Joe got home and I got to Jennifer's I was almost 2 hours late but it was well worth it! Joe was asleep when we got home and well.. he still is! He has definitly beaten our record hours of sleep since the girls come home. I'm jealous :) There are a bunch of Photos of the gathering posted. Thanks Jen and Derrick for the hospitality!
