Merry Christmas 🎄

Tuesday was Maren’s last day of school and Wednesday was Linden’s last day of daycare before Christmas break. It was bitterly bitterly cold last week (several days of -50C/-58F with the windchill) so we couldn’t be outside for longer than it took to get in the car, or walk across the street or between buildings, because you can get frostbite on exposed noses in as little as five minutes in those temperatures. So we were stuck inside. 

On Thursday we ventured to see Christmas trees on display at our local performing arts centre. 
 

The kids had fun, but Linden was having worsening cold symptoms which tempered her enjoyment. Fortunately by the next day she was starting to feel better. 

On Saturday, we watched Arthur Christmas while eating takeout pizza in our pjs.

Then we had a relaxing and fun-filled Christmas day.

It has been a much-needed rest after a very busy semester. We are still hunkering down for a bit, before preparing for next semester, and it feels really good to slow down. Merry Christmas!
