the end of 2011.....


Busy at the end of the first period

play in action











On Wednesday Frank, Liam and I spent the day out and about shopping and then joined Mike, Carol, Ken and Francesca at the hockey. This is the fourth time our family has seen the Blazers play and the first time they have won, so it was a good game! Our row won free ice cream, we were on the big screen, Phoebe was enchanted by the mascot, Digger, Liam danced in the aisles and after the second session we played 'chuck-a-puck'!! It was a full evening!

After only 2 days on Kijiji (a local buy-and-sell site) on Thursday we finalised a deal on the trusty Dodge Caravan with a very lovely couple who happen to live in Barnhartvale! Kenna and Geoff are so kind we are even able to keep the car until the very last moment before we leave.

On Friday Frank was tidying up some things at work, packing and firing the kiln, doing some marking and preparing for the final 14 days of teaching. In the late afternoon we all went to Kim and Kevin's for drinks and appies. Yum yum. Kim is a great cook and an attentive bartender and it was a lovely get together. Louise and Nico also came and while the kids played we got stuck into Uno Attack again. I love the idea of 'drinks and appies' and look forward to doing this at home, too!

Today is New Year's Eve. We are hosting a 'drinks and appies' ourselves tomorrow to thank the many people who have made our year here so fantastic. Today is prep day!!
