Christmas is Toronto has been great. Different, but great. You can't beat the weather here. Compared to Edmonton Alberta weather, Toronto rocks. Temperatures have not dipped below -10 and even at that we still hovered around the 0 degrees mark. Snow didn't seem to be in the cards for Christmas at all but we did get a big dump on Boxing Day which made it feel like home. We were able to get together with quite a few different people over the holidays that we have gotten to know since arriving here. We held two get togethers at our house. One on Christmas eve with the Tay family and one on New Years eve with the Wooley family, the Gundaker family, Nicole and her some Kingley, and Josi and her son Jacob. We had a lot of fun playing on the Wii and playing in the snow on New Years Eve. One of the highlights of the holiday was going out to visit my cousin Todd and his wife Paula their family in Cambridge for boxing day. They just moved in a beautiful and large house on a lake and they invited us to come have Christmas dinner with them and Paula's family. We had a great time and were taken care of by great people. The visit really helped to lesson my sadness over missing my family back in Alberta and our fun holiday get togethers. Most of the holiday was spent in our pajamas and the kids felt fairly spoiled over their Christmas gifts so I say that it was a success. By the end of week two with the lack of sleep and structure, needless to say I did blow my top a couple of times. I'm glad my husband and kids are so forgiving cause I felt pretty guilty. Although we enjoyed our holiday, I am glad we are back to real life again. Happy New Year.
