With winter come the holidays, and ours were filled with many joyful memories. For our family, getting ready is half the fun!  We all gathered for the Swan River School program, and as always, we went on our annual carriage ride and visited Santa.  We forgot to get a picture of the kids' Christmas tree, but they did a great job decorating it this year.  It was Alex's turn to put the star on top.
