The next stop was the 24th in Sarnia, ON for the arrival of the Olympic Torch. What an exciting event and well put together. Great planning on behalf of the Olympic Committee to take the torch across Ontario to 1000 or so communities to let the public be part of the excitement. We thought it was a great time to introduce Addison to the spirit of the Olympic Games in hopes that in the future she can look back on it and say "hey I once held the torch" and who knows will maybe carry it herself someday!!
Later that night we packed up Addy and the boys and headed off to Chatham for the holidays. We stayed over at mom's for the night so that she could be part of Addy's first Christmas at home. We got up early, but sleepy head Addison held us off from opening gifts till about 10:00 am!!! Yeah we will change that one for next year. Addy did great at opening her Christmas gifts and of course was completely spoiled. Thanks to Mim and a wonderful package from Nan Nan, Addy will be well entertained and well dressed in the coming months. The rest of the day was nice and relaxing and full of good cheer, good eats and visiting with great family and friends. We celebrated the next full day with friends at mom's annual Boxing Day Open House. Danielle and Todd and the boys made it down and we exchanged our gifts and celebrated it all over once again. It was geat to be with everyone there, but we did miss our other half of the family off to the East. Thanks for some great phonecalls to bring us all closer to you and looking forward to getting together with everyone in January for our second half of the Christmas season.
