On the day before Christmas Eve, I picked Tanya's girls up in Florenceville. Sarah shopped in Fredericton with Victoria, and together we took the girls home to the farm, where we had a great evening alone with them. Tanya, T J, and A J joined us on Christmas Eve and we all headed to the Midland church for a nice community Christmas service.
Jesse drew the short straw, and had to stay home and milk the cows.
The girls didn't go to bed nearly as well for Tanya, as they had for us the night before, but finally they did, after leaving treats for Santa and his reindeer, and having T J read "The Night Before Christmas".
The next morning Jesse, Garrett, and I raced through chores, and came in to a Christmas tree crowded with gifts. After the obligitory picture at the top of the stairs, everyone came downstairs.
It was an exciting morning, great to watch the little ones opening gifts. And then it was off to Stacy's for a wonderful dinner. She did a great job, and everything was excellent. Here are Stacy, Grandma, Danielle, Kara, Cecily, and Bradford.
Going through the pictures tonight, I found it hard to find ones without Sarah making her funny face. Something like trying to get a picture of Stacy without her sticking het tongue out. Or Art doing something he shouldn't. So here is Sarah... and a few others...
And today, we had a visit from Hailey, Victoria, and Brad.
So, looking back on 2010, it has been quite a year. Wow!!
Sarah and I celebrated 30 years.
Carrie's Quebec exchage.
NB Soil and Crops Farm of the Year.
An 18000 km. trip around North America.
A trip to Holland to celebrate the 65th Anniversary of the Liberation, and renewing our friendship with Fia and Jaap.
2 more grandchildren (that makes 7!)
One of the best growing and harvesting seasons and on the farm in years.
Broke the 4000 litre/pickup of milk, and still over 4000 today.
And other things like the trip Jesse and I made to Ontario in February.
The shortened trip to Quebec in September, but it was still good.
Broken collar bones and broken ankles.
Having Roma from the Ukraine working for us.
And we can't forget to mention Lacey, our new milker, who is a great milker and a pleasure to have around.
And Sarah's CCSVI in Bulgaria and the wonderful reminder of the great community we live in before we went. Sarah is showing continued improvements every week. This is good.
Did I forget anything? Maybe I should check the blog.
Happy New Year!!!
