The kids had a good Christmas. They both got a cell phone and James got a brand new Ski-Doo, courtesy of his Nan and Pop. James don't jump for joy or show emotion like other kids but I could tell he was beaming.

It is really warm. Plus 8 degrees Celsius on December 26 and it doesn't look like it is going to cool off much over the next week. I hope we don't have another winter like we did 11 or 12 years ago when we had spring instead of winter.
