Christmas had a lot of firsts this year. First, Ant, Meibo and Wong did not come. Ant and Wong got a new home and just closed right before Christmas so they had to move and settle in. Meibo celebrated with Shea. Yipao was here! Another first, it was strangely warm - no snow and green grass over the break. This also has resulted in lots of cancellations - ice houses, klondike derby, ice fishing, pond hockey, things that we typically do not do :) Also, it was a 13 day break. I kind of wish we went somewhere but the time flew by as we stayed at home and spent time together, played with our new toys and had fun.
