Holy Roly Poly
This photo was taken on Christmas when we were at the Day’s Inn, Collingwood. We left for up north after opening presents, having breakfast and coffee (decaff, of course). No problems with the terribly incorrect forecast. After checking in we went to Aunt Mar & Uncle Wayne’s house where the gang was having cocktail hour (which seemed to last all night). It was unfortunate to not have Mom there, but she thought she would be better at home. It is hard to hear my Mom cry and I am so useless. We have planned to go and see her on NYE. We had our turkey dinner, yummy desserts and played the Steal a Gift game. Everyone was very civilized and there were no fights involved. Unfortunately my Nana got the gift for Jonna (because she didn’t play) I felt bad. I got a fancy pillow, Simon got pure honey and maple syrup. My Dad gave us a boxfull of diapers and a weekend away with the family at CasinoRama in the spring. Hopefully “you know who” won’t have arrived by then! P.S. This photo makes me want to run on the treadmill.
A couple days after Christmas, we went to see Lily (2 weeks old). 
What a precious little baby! She was very well behaved and slept the entire time we were there. Simon thinks babies are easy now that he met Lily! Unfortunately I don’t think they sleep the ENTIRE day….
The rest of our 4 days off was spent cleaning, donating clothes, moving stuff, organizing etc. to prepare for the baby room. It was very overwhelming and the house is still a mess. It probably will be until June.
