We had snow that didn’t stick this week. We managed to eat the whole box of fruit (thank you, Lis and Burt)! Last week of hockey for the year for Mark. They start again in January. Mark is really getting the hang of it! I still need to submit my grades, and Tom is working for most of this week, but we are gearing up to wind down for Christmas! Exciting!

Hello! Laying low for a brief moment before the holidays. Mark had hockey- he’s really getting comfortable on the ice! He says he loves it and definitely wants to play again next year. We roasted a chicken. Lis and Burt sent us some cool looking lentils. Very tasty- highly recommend! Secret Santa got Tok a cool tropical fruit box. I cut Vivian’s hair. Mark’s school winds down next week. I finished my last class- have moved on to grading for now and interviewing applicants for fall 2022 admission.

We have three awesome advent calendars going from Frances and Kelly Ah-Yi! So we are very well oriented to time right now. 

Getting into the holiday spirit. No appearances from our Elf Ina Baba yet. Maybe next week if people are on good behavior!
