Wheeler Holiday meal

The Saturday before Christmas we celebrated with a Wheeler holiday meal at our house. This year we requested that no gifts be given and only donations for the food bank. It turned out really well. We had lot's of stuff to bring to the food bank and the gifts were not missed. It was an opportunity to give back as a family and it was a great success. A couple days after the meal Jade, Nathan and I dropped off at the local food bank. We had collected so much stuff that they thought it was a donation from an organization rather than a family. Big thanks to everyone!

Christmas holiday

This year was magical for Nathan. At four years old he was full of excitement and wonder over the idea of Santa. Nathan's big thrill on Christmas morning was that Santa had managed to bring him a VERY large bottle of root beer. (With a little help from DM).

Jade was THRILLED with the surprise of the Wii and Wii fit. We had a great Christmas day opening stockings, big breakie, more presents, some time to play with toys and then out to do some sledding. We finished the day with dinner at Garry and Helen's. Good times.
