We had a busy and fantastic Christmas - quite different from last years! I told Doug that I wanted a "do over" of last years festivities as I was only an onlooker and not a participant!
We had a fun Christmas Eve at Doug's cousins - 8 kids ranging from 8 to 17. Christmas morn was just the 4 of us to open presents. Doug's sister and brother-in-law were here for Sunday brunch and yet more presents for the kids! On Boxing Day my family was over for a BBQ! It was mild with the temp around 5C! Perfect BBQ weather in Winnipeg! And of course more presents!
Our Christmas festivities are still not over, we have dinner in Oakville with 5 more cousins for the kids to play with! We also have my mom's famous and huge dinner with hopefully some of my Aunts, Uncles, and cousins joining in the celebrations!
Oh yeah in the midst of this we have had our puppy Hope for 2 1/2 weeks. We have become potty trained once again! She is our 5th member of our family and we love her!
What a difference a year has made!
Thanks for all your prayers and Christmas Wishes - we have heard from lots of people over the holidays!
Wishing everyone a very Happy New Year!
Love,
Karen and all
