It seems so long ago...

As I believe you all know, Tina and I flew back from China to spend time friends and family. We had a bit of a weather delay in Chicago which held us up for a few hours, getting us into Toronto just after 3 am. Luckily our friend Barb waited up for us with a nice bottle of wine - I this late night added to our troubles adjusting from being 14 hours off...

The first weekend we spent with Tina's friends and some good food and drinks. A great time catching up people that we hadn't seen in a full year. From there we went off to Tina's father's to spend Christmas with the Schmidt family.

This year there were no naked Asian calendars given as gifts, but it sure seemed like everyone in the family enjoyed seeing us again. An excellent dinner one night at the brother Wilfred's and then the Christmas eve with the Schmidt family.

We'll be brave and leave you all with a video of one of the traditions that they seem intent on keeping going...
