Monday Dec. 6th

This is a Christmas ornament that Anna made in Grade one and it will always be one of my favourite things to see on our tree!  She keeps going back to the tree and just sitting beneath it.  We picked names for Surprisa Avond.  For those who don't know what this is, it's a family tradition that started way back when Stephan's mom was a little girl in Holland.  You pick a person's name, wrap a gift for them in a creative way, write a song or poem to go with it and present it on Christmas eve.  The kids love doing this and they're old enough that they've been doing it by themselves for a couple of years now.  I can't remember who I've got this year...nice...
