We had a really nice evening last night… some friends came over and we ate and drank and talked and played and went to bed late…

The boys ate their supper and fell asleep pretty early and we ate late so it was really a quiet “adult” supper…

Khéna woke up though at about 1am and stayed up for a while so we finally all headed to bed at about 1:45am…

The friends that came over is a friend of Simon’s that we have shared the holidays with for years now… before Xavier born even… Last year he met a woman from Cancun, Mexico and they got married and we have been getting to know her better… It is a bit of a shock for her to feel the cold of a Quebec winter…today we are having normal temps at -19 (-28 with the wind) and it is due to get colder as  January and February bring the coldest weather…

I look forward to seeing her next time because she will be bringing her ingredients here and teaching me how to make corn tortillas and authentic Mexican cuisine…

I am sure to take pics of that and share!!!

When a new year comes I love to look at what is coming… This is the year that Xavier will be 7, Colin will be 5 and Khéna will be 3… this is the year that my good friend will be becoming a mom for the first and second time… (quite soon actually)…

I have a feeling that Xavier will be reading and admitting it by the time that the year is out… and I think that Colin might follow when he sees his big brother doing it…

Khéna will be talking in full force quite soon and I think that he will follow Colin and be a non-stop talker…

This year will also mark our 10th anniversary… we got married May 8th 1999…

So happy new year everyone! I hope the year brings you what you need and even what you desire…
