The Christmas season begins especially early here. Since Canadian Thanksgiving is in October, Christmas celebrations begin immediately following Remembrance Day (Canadian version of Veterans Day) which is mid-November. Our holiday celebration started at the Imperial Theater with Mary Poppins. One of the mom's planned a Mom and Daughter day for Brenna, Jenna, and Sofi. It turned out to be an all day event since it happened on a Sunday. The girls had Christmas Choir practice together that morning, followed by church, then lunch, and next we were off to see Mary Poppins. The girls had a great time. They enjoyed a taste of Perfect Punch, a Spoon Full of Sugar, and we all learned to spell Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious! That same weekend was the Winter Wonderland Festival at Degroots. Brenna made lots of crafts, got her face painted, took a horse-drawn carriage ride, saw a magic show, and got to pet real reindeer. Christmas was already off to a strong start!
