This is a picture taken Christmas Day at Seth's parents house.

Its the end of the year and the second time I get a chance to look back at everything I've learned and done and seen. The first time I do that in the year is usually some time in the Fall, I don't know why,  but come Fall it usually just hits me that there are a number of things that have happened to have changed my perspective that particular year. It kind of happens then again in December, but for some reason not so much.

However, I came across an awesome discovery yesterday. When I first moved here and bought parsnips I couldn't figure out why they waxed them, and to be honest it kind of annoyed me! Its messy! Well anyway, I roasted some vegetables yesterday and I took a parsnip out of the fridge that was well over a month old...and guess what! It was perfect! The wax completly stops the vegetable from rotting! I was so impressed I went out and stocked up on different vegetables and shoe polish (similar consistency) and now have just a tonne of vegetables sitting in the bottom of my fridge coated in shoe polish! Amazing.

Seth went back to work again yesterday, for three days. Then hes off two more days. Sweet. Then l am determined to be working next week or the week after. Determined!

Some Christmas photos, although later on today, Seth is going to put some galleries up...

Seth's Grandma, Lucille, on Christmas Eve at her house for an amazing Christmas dinner :)

Driving to Lucille's on Christmas Eve. The roads were in perfect condition, it hadn't snowed for two days before Christmas!
             

    

Seth sledding down the hill...it was -2F/ -18C out that day! It was cold! But very pretty!!    

I demonstrate the possibility of falling on a flat surface and so the likelyhood of me going down the hill is slim! Yes, a hill that l have seen 4 year olds sled down!

  

I conquer my fear of ice and skate on the lake...kind of!        

For those who don't get it...I haven't honestly covered my vegetables in shoe polish.
