We traveled Christmas Eve day to Jerry's family in Ontario to celebrate Christmas. We were there until Tuesday, and every day was a party which of course is standard in that country (at least according to my kids!) Marcy and Vince (sister and bro-in-law) had an ice rink in their yard which was like no other I've ever seen. Unfortunately cold and windy temps kept the kids from skating too long. Jerry played Santa again this year, although the number of kids he's fooling is dwindling fast. We ate, visited, and ate some more. Our trip culminated with a visit to Simcoe to see the Christmas lights and then to Tante Alice's for fresh oliebollen. Jerry and I both commented that we ate 5....too many. Yumola! It was a wonderful visit with a family that is a true blessing.
Ben loved playing hockey. Skating...not so much.
Julianna = cutest hockey player ever
It's not too hard to figure out that these two are father/son!
Yes, I like Beyblades, but I've heard "1-2-3...Let 'er rip!!" about 100 times too many.
