Month: January 2025

We had a few extra minutes to spare on the walk to school so we checked out the rink one morning.

We had a friend over for Ezra and Sierra to play with on Sunday.  This involved fort building in the basement, complaining with each other about fort building and then a hilarious game of Uno Show Them No Mercy.

We had a nice surprise visit from Anne-Marie and family who decided to come into town for a hockey tournament.

They were only in town for a short time so we met them for some lunch at the Heart and Crown and went to watch a game at the Sensplex.

Sierra even made some flags for the event!

I believe we only received two Christmas cards this year.  Of course, I don’t blame the lack of Christmas spirit across my friends and family, I blame Canada Post being on strike most of December!  I think they ended the strike in mid December and had a backlog of things to do.

I ended up sending my own but I heard folks received them a few weeks after Christmas.

I follow my own mother’s advice when sending Christmas cards…if someone consistently doesn’t send me a Christmas card, don’t bother sending any more.  I track who sends some each year but I suppose I won’t consider 2024 in my calculations next year.
