NY 2007
Kris Kringle this year was held at Tom and Rose King's house in Montclair, NJ. Theirs is a wonderful old house, big to begin with even before they added on. It has oak floors and oak paneling with hidden staircases and a dumb waiter. Very nice and very wonderful to host the family party.
The foosball table was popular with everyone, including (left to right) name1, Ronan, and name3
Dinner time in the dining room... left to right - Michael holding name1, Shauna, Kathleen, Aiden, Matt, Denise, Megan, and name2 at bottom center.
The remodeled kitchen and family room were half the addition to the house. The other half was extending a bedroom upstairs and adding a bathroom.
Very nice....
In the dining room starting clockwise from the lower left, Mary Ann holding name1, John, Kevin, Kathleen, name2, Eddie, Betty, and Helen.
Santa made an appearance with the kids either counting their good fortune or wondering why a total stranger was allowed in the house. Tom King did a great job....
Everyone enjoyed Santa, including the grownups. Clockwise from lower left, Matt, Eddie, Tom Brady, Barney, Betty, Aidan, and Tom Brady's friend Rosemary..
Tom had each of his kids sit on hsi lap for a special time with Santa. This was Kathleen's turn...
Tom Brady, Kathleen, and Dad. Tom is showing off the gift he opened... his name was chosen first.
Okay - Aidan's on top. Below him are Kathleen and Ronan, then Kieran. Patrick after that with Jessica holding... ??.
Gotta contact someone about the names of all these kids. Rumor has it there are 13 little ones under the age of 5. That is a small energetic orchestra...
Kathleen, Eileen, Barney, Helen, Tom Brady, John, and Dad. About as solid as they get.
