A Barbeau Christmas!!

Ghislaine, Gilles' mom, had one wish for Christmas: have everyone together on the 24th for a great celebration. It was a bit iffy, but at the last minute everyone was able to make it.
While everyone had been sad with the loss of Raymond, Gilles' dad, it was as if on Christmas Eve, everyone was given permission to have fun and let loose. Although everyone was tired from the previous days, there was plenty of tears of laughter and lots of fun. Unfortunately, I was incredibly tired from the previous days and lack of sleep that by dessert time, I called it quits ad headed up for bed. The rest of the gang was full of beans. It was funny to see the pictures and videos of all that I missed.
Here are a few pics of the calm before dinner and the craziness that ensued:
