Phew! Made it through another busy season!!

Yes, we have holiday cards. 
No, they have not been mailed yet. 
Perhaps they will be...

Quick review of the last 10 days:

 The Tussahaw Young Singers were amazing in their concert!

Piano recital was a success--very proud of my students, especially a certain four!!

 Nana reading to Stuart and the kids...

We had a nice visit from our friends, Garth & Dorothy all the
 way from Ottawa, Ontario!!

  
Stuart made a snowman in the friendly village...

...and he watched a movie with his friend.

Jason's new commute attire: rain poncho!
Note the fact that we were all up with him to take the early morning picture!!


Our newest tradition is our Christmas celebration with our friends, the Hicks. 
This year "Big Mimi" gave all our kids their very own nutcrackers. As you can see they were well-received!

The kids LOVED Stuart's zip line!

Last night my children's choir presented an original work by yours truly...and they blew me away! How fun to see your words and music come to life, and by super-talented kids!!
