Merry Christmas

Despite papa's recently depleted personal wealth, he has generously offered to update the blog in the spirit of altruistic giving. Isn't he wonderful? Our Christmas has been divided into two days, one in Fredericton and the other in Bouctouche. Both have been joyous occasions that have brought together friends, family, good cheer and -- more importantly in the eyes of a two year old -- loads and loads of presents. There have been ponies big and small, books and even some fancy clothes. What I've liked best of all, however, is the ceaseless unwrapping of gifts.
