Santa Claus

The weekend was excellent, starting with the dinner and dance at the farm, and a ride from Anapharm on a yellow school bus. We played games to win prezzies and had lots of fun singing and partying!

On Saturday Anapharm's Santa was handing out prezzies so Clara was there to receive hers, but she was scared of Santa and wasn't happy sitting on his lap. On Saturday night, Christelle (a french girl from work) and Guillaume (her boyfriend) came for dinner and we had a really nice time. Doug treated us to his best bread yet, and made butterscotch pudding for desert, yummy...

On Sunday the toy library's Santa gave his present to Clara, which went a bit better than the day before, and we sat down to watch a little play with Mrs Claus and rudolf the red-nosed reindeer, it was really cute.

Clara made a friend called Emily, and we made friends with her mum called Yvonne, who is from Toronto.

For the last week we have been under around 40 cm of snow. Last night we got a nice layer of ice on top of that! Here's Doug braving the elements to clear a path for his family.

Meanwhile, Clara has a new interest in fashion. Here she is showing off her latest collection.
