We went by the new house today for a look and boy has it changed! They have completed most of the framing on the floors and walls. Although it doesn’t have a roof yet, the basic structure of our house is there, including the interior walls. We took a brief walk through our new house for the first time. Very exciting!

We began December by completing the sale of our townhouse and moving into a rental townhouse just down the block. It’s nice to be able to stay in the neighbourhood a bit longer. The place is great. We already feel very settled and are able to finally focus on Christmas.

We had three Christmas parties this year. It’s been great to see everyone and celebrate together. We especially enjoyed my work’s kids Christmas party with lots of crafts, face painting, food, and even a visit from Santa. It was a great time and kids really enjoyed it, although Jasmine wouldn’t go near Santa.

Natalie participated in the church pre-school Christmas pageant again this year. It was entertaining as always, and she made a cute angel.
