Christmas this year seemed to spread out over three weeks. That's good though - Christmas is about relationships. God opened the way for close relationship with us so many years ago - so it is appropriate to see Christmas as a time and way to build relationship with Him and others. This year it was certainly that!
It all started before Dec 24/25 in Fairmont - that you already read about! Spending time with Brent and Kirstin and then on our own for a couple of days. No phones - no customers - just one another! Relationships!
Then on the 24th we had all the kids (and pets) home for the afternoon and evening. The only one missing was Kelsey. She was in Saskatchewan with her family visiting BOTH sides of her parent's family in Saskatoon and near Regina. Lots of traveling for them in a short period of time. We missed her (one of us family members the most I am sure!) but she was in our hearts just the same!
We had friends over for turkey dinner before we all went to church then our family came back home and opened presents. The friends were football buddy to Kev - Tyrone and Tyrone's parents Tryg and Gloria. The meal was too quick - but great to have them share it with us! And the kids really chipped in and helped. The only way to make it possible the day after getting home from being away for a week!

CHRISTMAS IS ABOUT FUN GIFTS TOO!
We even had time over a number of days to enjoy Eric and Becky's pets. Rusty (aka Pooks, Pookers, Mr. Pooks) stayed with us and lingered on for a few days after Eric and Becky went home with Keira. They came back to visit friends in the area so they picked him up then. He doesn't mind staying with us - in fact he makes himself quite at home!

RESTING RUSTY!
RUSTY TRYING TO HIDE!
I told you he liked it here - so much so he tried hiding when Eric and Becky stopped by the office with him on their way home the second time. We had to search for him!
Now with the Christmas season over it is time to get things back to normal and get back to work! BUT we are still going to have some adventures even though it is time to get serious about the office and housekeeping duties! In fact, I will blog about the first one of the new year when I get the pictures in the system. Pictures are important - wouldn't you agree!
