Christmas Party

Last night was our annual Schroeder Family Christmas party.  We always have our gathering the night after Christmas to accommodate  all the different schedules that happen at this time of year.

We were really looking forward to a crowd but the snow started around 2 p.m. and by the time folks would have been driving into Dearborn for the party, the roads were pretty treacherous and so the turnout was smaller than planned.  But, that doesn't mean we didn't have a great time.

Szegedi's Catering cooked for us again this year and the roast beef, mashed potatoes and gravy were wonderful.

We had some music this year.  My niece, Rachel, played her guitar for a little while and my nephew, Dan, brought his friend, John, who brought his accordion.

The accordion music brought us to our feet as we tried some polkas, tangoes and some swing dancing.

My mom took a swing around the floor with good friend, Joe.

And, a few of us tried a Tango.

The kids aren't kids anymore. Most of them tower over the adults and they love to be together.

Most of my siblings were there:

Time flies when you're having fun and the two events I had been looking so forward to are now over.  But some of us get to escape up north this weekend to have Christmas with my dear one's family and so not all of the fun is done. And, with the New Year comes our first birthday of the year which means the partying will last a little while longer.  May you all have a wonderful New Year!!
