Only 24 more days until Christmas...

Yikes! With just over three weeks until the big day, we've got lots to do. (Well, lots in a manageable kind of way, I hope.) Lily helped me sign the xmas cards yesterday and her favourite part with the stamps is still to come...

Lily is home for the next three days, so that slows things down a bit. She got her very first report card on Friday and then there were parent/teacher/student/little brother conferences today – and tomorrow and then a personal development day on Friday. And there are no concerns about Lily. She does well in everything. She's there or almost there (developing or well developed are the terms these days) with everything they do. We went through her portfolio, saw some art projects they'd worked on and that was about it.

Chris is sick and has been home sleeping for three days this week; I think I'm catching it. Finn is sprouting his top teeth. But in the midst of all that, we still made it out over the weekend in the mountains of snow as it was only -5˚C and not windy. But don't tell Finn that his sleigh is pink. I think he's feeling self conscious already...
