Chris invited a group of friends over today...but in the end only a couple of them came...probably because the temperature is -26c and the windchill is (ie it feels like) -39c and some of them were coming from Edmonton on the bus!!! But his friend from school came and a friend from the village here and I think they had a good time! They had a gingerbread house making contest - girls against boys. Max is quite used to our mad house as he has been here several times, and knows Sam and the others well but Kiray is an only child so probably thought she had entered a mad house with candies being thrown around the place (yes even at me) and Sam chasing people with Santa signs and lots of noise and chaos.....but at the end of the day she said she WOULD be venturing back here again!!! So I will take that positively ;)
Laurence escaped with Lloyd for the afternoon - they went off to buy some more straw bales for Charlie. I had the Christmas music playing, finished decorating the Christmas tree, worked on some VERY special scrapbook layouts I'm doing!!! And on some more Snowman soup and things I'm doing!!!
It's been a lovely 'at home' day - staying snuggly and warm on a bitterly cold day. The children have had fun - Susie and Abby also made Christmas cards. They watched 'The Polar Express' as well and listened to their Disney Christmas music cd.
