Hello to all. So I'm writing this from a motel room so I will have to remember what has happened over then last month. I don't have my calendar to look back on. So I don't remember the dates but I did HUGE Christmas craft show the first part of December. It was for 3 days the first two days the hours where from 12-9 and last day it was from 10-6. Nigel went with me on the first day but then after that he went with Kelly. I got about 16 people who want to have shows so that isn't to bad. After that it was time to get ready to go to Michigan for Christmas. Last minute I had someone contact me to do a Christmas party so I did that. The sales where really good for my first party. We left for Michigan on the 15th. We had to leave home at 4 in the morning so that was nice and early. The first couple of things that happened should have told us that we where gonna have a bad day or bad flying this trip. We where very positive about it all and it worked out. Heidi for the first time in her life and she has flown lots got air sick twice on the first flight. It was only 1 1/2 hour flight so we thought once we got some breakfast in her she would be ok. And I gave her one adult gravol. So on to the next flight. The 3 1/2 hour one to Toronto. Heidi slept for the first hour so we thought that gravol had worked but oh no. She got air sick twice on that flight to. We where a little more prepared this time. Got to Toronto and through customs with no issues. Got to our gate for our Detroit flight and let the kids run around. I think our flight was delayed a total of 2 hours but we made it there with no one get sick. Both kids had sleep over 2 hours in their stroller so that was a life saver.  We where at folks for a day and a half then we went to ON for a couple of days to see Kelly's two sisters. Had lots of fun there with them. We got to be at Jack and Levi's school program so that was nice. We left there Sunday morning and got to my folks by 3ish I think. They where suppose to be in there new house by that time but something came up and they couldn't move till Monday.  We had a very good time at my folks. It was lots of fun to be in the new house. I wasn't sad that we couldn't be in the old one. Both of my sisters where able to come up for a few days also. I hadn't seen Monica for 2 years. Mom and Sam had an awesome birthday party for Heidi while we where all there. The theme they used was Tim Hortins which Heidi loves. We didn't do gifts with my family because we all had to spend money to travel they all got Heidi and Nigel something tho. We flew back home the 31rst. Folks drove down with us the night before we left and we got a motel room. Dad and Kelly returned the rental pickup. Our flight was suppose to leave at 8:30 or so and we ended up leaving an hour late. We only had an hour lay over in Toronto so we pretty much guessed that we missed our nest flight. In texting dad and telling him he checked and said our next flight was delayed and we hoped we could make it. Well after a long afternoon we finally made it on a stand-by flight to Edmonton at 7:30 in the evening. It was Delta's mistake they got us a motel and the kids both had 2 hour naps. Got to Edmonton safely and to a motel for night. Then on the new years day we got home about 4:30. It was such a wonderful feeling to finally be home. Now for an update on the kids. Heidi is still Heidi. Talking lots and loving her Aunty's and her Christmas presents. Nigel managed to get 3 molars this month. He weighs almost 25 pounds and Heidi weighs 30 pounds so he is not far behind. Thanks to all of you who sent Christmas letters. We love to read them! Till next time......
