What were we thinking??

As we woke up this morning to -17 celcius or -31 with the wind chill, we wondered why we thought staying here for a month would not be too hard on us!! Brrrrr !! Jane has decided to hibernate until it warms up which may only be when we return to Texas.

We have enjoyed sharing Christmas with our family and friends. On Christmas day we hosted dinner for twelve and I think Jane had cooked a dinner for forty!! Good thing I love turkey and ham left-overs.. LOL Our great niece and nephew were the hit of the party.

During our time in Ottawa, Jane got the cookie baking monster out of her system, I got to a Senator's hockey game with Amy,

We also handled an emergency garage door repair, and spent some time with Jenn.

On Tuesday, Paul's sister Terry and her husband drove up from Montreal to have a belated Christmas lunch with us and Jenn.

Jenn also had some of her Jersey friends (who were visiting relatives in Montreal) drop by for lunch. It was fun to meet some of her friends here at home.

We are planning a small dinner with our friends on New Year's eve - so we won't be too wild, since Jenn flies home on New Year's Day.

Wishing you all a Happy New Year - and wishing we were already back in Texas... :-)
