Happy New Year!

Happy holidays, everyone! Only have a minute to write-- we're at my parents' place in Jordan (Ontario) and it's snowing outside and looks so peaceful!

Which is about the opposite of the atmosphere here inside-- the kids have been relatively quiet and well-behaved up until now, but their energy reserve is reaching a critical point and they could explode any minute! We're going to pull on some snow boots and go outside and explore the beautiful nature reserve behind Mom and Dad's house.

Aside from having to dodge the two little ticking time bombs that keep whizzing past we're feeling relaxed and happy. Had a fun Christmas with T and C in NJ and are really enjoying hanging out here with my Mom and Dad.

This evening we're going to go to a family-style New Year's Eve celebration. Apparently they ring a bell and celebrate the new year at 8pm!!! Which is perfect-- I usually dread that tension-filled countdown til midnight! It will be nice to get it over with early and then relax for the rest of the evening... ;-)
