Seems everyone had a great Christmas. Jacob sure did.  If fact, he had so much fun that he came down the next day looking for the same kind of day!  He has lots of toys. So many that we had to put some away for a rainy day or when he is good.

Everyone had a great xmas although we heard that they were quite sad without Jacob, um, I mean us there.  Cathy (Waynes sister) got engaged to a good Cape Breton fellow named Sandy.  Matthew and Charlene are doing well.  Matthew got a new computer for xmas so he is quite happy

and so is everyone else (for their own PC’s safety).  Norm and Julie are also doing well as they get ready tio put in their new gas fireplace.  Wish ours worked.  (See other story)

Shelley made it home for xmas and Mom and Dad had a great time with them.  Nothing like children to bring home the holiday spirit.  The house will be alwful quiet when they leave.  Doug did not get home for xmas.  He is still in the Calgary area working.  He drives a special vehicle that measures whether drilling should happen or not for gas reserves.  He is all over the place and works 21 days straight.  It is hard on the family but the money is good.  He will be home for the new year and they will celebrate then.
