After a recent phone chat with a friend from the East we were reminded that we need to update our blog more often. We will try and do better in the new year.
The Christmas season was full of activity.
Our plans to stay in Alberta for Christmas changed when we recieved word that David's daughter, Allison would be marrying her longtime beau, Erik, on Dec. 19th in Amhurst, NY. So we flew to Toronto and then drove down for the wedding. She looked beautiful and we are so thankful that we were able to share in this event in her life. The next day we headed to Burlington, ON. to enjoy a Biehn Christmas. It was so good to connect with the brothers, sister-in-laws, neices, nephews and their kids.
After that celebration we made our way to New Hamburg, ON. for a quick overnight visit where we finally got to see our godkids, can't believe they are now teenagers!!
Christmas eve we were back in Alliston, ON. at Sonya's sister's place with the entire family there. We all attended a Christmas Eve service together at Stephanie and Tom`s church and then came home to relax. Abit of a flu bug seemed to hit various members of the family so things were more low keyed than usual. Christmas day was filled with excitement as we enjoyed the children opening their gifts with enthusiasm.
Sunday the 27th we flew back to Alberta. Yes, we were 2 of the approximate 400 people who were in the security line ups at Pearson Airport...what an experience of patience! Thankfully, even though we were an hour delayed, our flight arrived back in Edmonton and the cool, crisp, freezing wind was waiting to greet us. It was back to work on Monday and the week has slowly carried on since then.
No big plans for New Years...yet.
