A new year!

That's me with 'Santa' and 'Mrs. Claus'

Performing our family's song on Christmas Eve

I had a lovely Christmas break in frigid Edmonton. I really had forgotten how cold it can be!

But the people there are very warm and make up for the blowing snow and -35C temperatures, especially our family.

Dinner with Don and Yukola - Keith's parents

We always have Christmas Eve with my daughter Andrea's in-laws  -  a jam packed evening of song, Santa and silliness!
All the kids were over for a pot-luck Christmas dinner. The food and company were great!

Christmas dinner with all the kids!

My daughter needed a new car as her 1994 Ford Aspire was about to expire in the cold weather. It was either new tires or a new car and we all agreed she needed an upgrade. She and I searcheds around and found a good one, almost the same as her sister's car!

Stef's "new to her" car

I'm now back at the warmer and wet coast. Everyone at work this week was sharing what they did on their holiday break and lamenting how quickly their relaxed state has dissipated.
