It's very nice this morning. We didn't have the freezing rain we were expecting. We got woken up by Mathieu coughing a lot, and then by plows going up and down the street around 5:17am (I know 'cause that's the time I looked).

We'll leave the house in the morning to go skating in Magog. The city itself hasn't changed much. It still has the townships look I've grown up with. There are a lot of English speaking people on the skating ring near the lake. While everyone goes skating, I stay around Mathieu, trying to help him improve is technique.

If he doesn't look enthusiastic, it's normal, he's not having that great a time. As you'll see tomorrow, skating is currently not his sport.

We go do a huge grocery when we come back. Back to the chalet Pascal cooks an incredibly good bird for supper, with the help of the kids...

Supper is really good. It is accompanied by an ever excellent  Gevrey-Chambertin 1er cru that's just perfect for the meal.

Afterwards we have a little party where everyone dances, especially kids. We can even see a tender moment between Sabrina and Ben.

The kids and the adults had a great time dancing. But the coolest was yet to come. After some dancing the kids spent 10 minutes in the spa, enjoying the water. After the hot water, they passed out sometimes between 9:00pm and 10:00pm.

They'll go to bed and we won't hear a squeak from them until the next morning, 6:30pm.

Happy New Year Everyone !!!
