St. Catharines, 2015.12.25

At grandma's in Saint Catharines for Christmas - probably for the last time, as she's planning to leave. I was completely unprepared this year, having been so flat out busy with studies, work, and "professional associations". The weather didn't help - it was the warmest Christmas Day on record anywhere in the country, if I understood the news correctly. We didn't need jackets!

But it was a fine time. And the kids are awash in gifts. We now have a classy lawn-bowling set, a quadcopter "Millennium Falcon", and a string of new playtime dresses in the household. In preparation for this year's ice fishing, Ken's also got snowshoes! Can't wait.
