LAN Party Weekend
So this past weekend was the first LAN party weekend for Brian and his friends at the new house.
There were 6 guys in our basement with their computers all hooked up and ready to game for the weekend.
Shawn's wife Delena came with their two kids.
Having Delena here was a huge help with the cooking and cleaning and our kids played well together. So that was fun.
Saturday was a busy day. We took the kids to the Santa Claus Parade in Pickering in the morning. The kids really liked that. Then it was back to the house to have some lunch. This was followed by a surprise visit from Brian's aunt Cecelia. It was nice to see her after her Africa/Holland trip, however it was a short visit as we were on our way with the kids to see the CP Rail Holiday Train. The train came in to Oshawa at 4:30pm, (it was still light out), and then about 10 minutes after arrival the lit up train opened up and the band The Odds sang some Christmas music for the crowd. The kids took turns being lifted up by myself and Delena. We were thankful that the show was only 1/2 hour. It was dark when we left and the train looked so cool with the lights.
While the guys played their video games well into the night Delena I played cards and board games.
It was a really busy weekend but a fun weekend had by all.
I think it will take me all week to actually clean up my house. :)
