  • Polar Bears

    The weather in Toronto at New Years made most people want to bury their heads and stay inside.

    But Kerri and Matt dragged themselves out of bed.

    image

    After several attempts.

    image

    Far too many failed attempts to describe here.

    image

    We sprang out of bed to attack winter with unparalleled ferociousness.

    image

    But a little bit of apprehension.

    image

    After gathering all of our important equipment we set out to seize the day.

    image

    We really love our equipment.

    image

    We misplaced some of it though and spent a while searching all over to find it.

    image

    Okay, so we may have lost the visual metaphor at this point, so instead check out the size of those paws. Huge right?

    image

    Even polar bears are very careful to check they won’t break through the ice.

    image

    Sometimes they dive in anyway because polar bears don’t mind a polar dip at –20C.

  • Merry Christmas

    Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house both Matthew and Kerri were stirring because it was turkey dinner time.

    image

    We may have gone a little overboard (26 pounds!) for the two of us.

    image

    Here’s the first of 45+ meals.

    image

    In true fine dining we ate on the couch while watching Christmas Eve on Sesame Street and A Muppet Family Christmas.

    image

    Here are the next 11 full meals and the rest of the bird to carve in the background.

    image

    The eight containers on the right are all packed up for freezing along with the bones. I don’t think they’ll make it to November this year, but we’ll see what happens. image

    Finally, we washed it down with a glass of wine for Matt and glass of advent calendar gummies for Kerri (thanks again Auntie Doris). Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night.
