Happy New Year everyone!
We are just coming to the end of our Christmas holiday and the kids are already dreaming of snow days. We had a small amount of snow for Christmas & Boxing day then on the Wednesday it shot up to 10 degrees and rained all day. Since then we've only had the odd flurry and lots of freezing rain which is very dangerous. The downside to this is we love playing in the snow and had hoped to spend the holidays doing this, the up side is we've been exploring the countryside around where we live. Our neighbours own lots of land which we can explore, it includes lots of woods, a camp and a lake. The good thing about exploring now is anything dangerous we may bump into is fast asleep so we can roam freely.

We went to a Brits Christmas bash at friends house on boxing day which was fun. We also went to parties at Jen's Aunt and Uncle's who live in Harvey too and at Kevin and Dianne's.
My New Year's eve market was the best one since August. This was mainly due to having a huge stall and people still being on holiday. I'm now taking a few months off from the market as the weather and lack of customers don't make it worth doing.
New Year's eve we spent with our friends the Warringtons then New Year's day we stayed at Rich & Jens. All good fun!
Isaac turned 16 this week, arghhhhhh he can now drive in Canada!!!!!!! He's learning his highway code so he can get his licence.
We've a hog roast to attend this weekend (not one of our pigs)then back to school and work.
