Happy New Year

Hope everyone out there had a great Christmas. We certainly did. A quiet family dinner Christmas day, with our friend Bob visiting from up-island to stay with us for the holiday period. Then another big dinner Boxing Day with more friends.

Christmas Eve, of course, the kids put out a snack for Santa.



Santa was privileged to get the first piece off the sugar-cookie house that Megan made at school. Her teacher baked sugar-cookies for the whole class to make their houses, and then displayed them in the classroom until end of term.



Santa was kind enough to bring them a Wii, which has kept the whole family amused ever since.

During the week after Christmas we paid another visit to Butchart Gardens for a last look at the lights...



...and a ride on the carousel.



Happy New Year.
