breakfast and tea, tidy and visit were morning events for all but Sheldon who had to go fix fence around the bales since horses were into that. He loved the weather and quad riding around but enjoyed coming in for a hot bowl of chicken noodle soup I made for lunch. Shaina took off to town to pick up Kaylin and they went to Calgary Xmas shopping for the day. At 1 pm Dale and kids loaded up and headed home after stopping for a haircut at Amanda's.
Sheldon and I snuck in a wee nap by the fire. At quarter to 2 he ran to town to get Britt and groceries while I unpacked yet more boxes of towels and sheets and cleaned, vacuuming the entire main level. They arrived home at 2:45 and Britt vacuumed the lower level while Sheldon worked on the skidoo and got a new bale for the horses.
Roast Supper and all the fixings was ready for 6 but the girls had not arrived yet. At 6:15 I got a call that Shaina had hit the ditch. The roads were getting worse thru the day and it seems she may have been going a bit faster than her non winter touring tires can handle. She had been complaining of them since the first snow and gets stuck at red lights in town and school parking lots requiring pushing by friends :-) She does not however want to part with $$ for tires even after her Dad offered a payment plan. Luckily Kaylin and Aaron were close behind so they picked her up since the car was buried deep in the ditch and the snow was still coming down.
We had an delicious supper, the girls set up the tree taking one more thing off my to do list. At 9, Kaylin and Aaron went home and the rest of us relaxed and watched TV and played wii.
AW>>> what a pretty tree! Merry Christmas, now to get shopping done!
