Good morning Ladies ! In what has been a year that just flew by, this is my last post of the year ! It has been a pleasure to write them , telling part of my weekly adventures (misadventures!) After out frigid temperatures last week it was nice to warm up this week. it is 28f but feels like a heatwave compared to what we had been experiencing. 
Santa Claus did indeed arrive !!
As I left last week we were going to be going to Christmas eve Mass ( service) We got there early as usually there are extra people attending at Christmas . This indeed was the case and I am glad we were able to get a seat. The Mass was lovey celebrating the birth of our savior Jesus Christ. We are blessed ! We came home and had a nice dinner . Afterwards the kids were allowed to open some presents from family members. Then after a while it was time to go to bed before Santa Claus made his visit.
On Christmas morning we awoke to see the tree with all the presents underneath ! I had to get a photo (above) When all the kids were awake we had the gift opening. There were lego , sets, microphones , trucks clothing and much more. At 9:30 we made the 2 hour drive to my in-laws It was great to see them but one of my brothers-in-law was sick and him and his wife and son did not make it . We had a nice lunch with those that were there. .Afterwards I made some lovely Baileys coffees for an adult dessert drink. We also played some board games . I got to talk to family back home as well on videochat . We were tired early and were in bed before 10pm . It had been a long day especially with the driving.
December 26th at my in-laws house.
On the 26th my Mother-in-law made a lovely breakfast for us all. We stayed most of the day and then at 4pm loaded up the car again, with extra presents from the generous in-laws! We got home at a nice time . I had to go back to work on Tuesday. It was ok even though I was not ready ! The week did go by pretty fast though. Last night I helped our friends Josette & Brandon as they moved into the new house they bought a few months back. It is beautiful and perfect size for them. Then tonight we are going to go to dinner with them and they will come back to our house for games afterwards Our daughter will babysit her siblings!
