I hope everyone had a great Christmas. After a daring battery run to Walmart on Saturday morning, we met up with the Sieberts for coffee/tea and to exchange gifts and Christmas cheer. After that we headed out to Warman to Lee and Brittany’s place for Christmas Eve dinner to open gifts. Wendy talked about the [...]

The end of the season
Mark’s football banquet was last night and a bunch of packed the two banquet rooms of Smiley’s and honoured the team, the coaches, and the manger. It was a really successful season and I have never seen a team improve that much. After going over a season without scoring a touchdown, they scored 55 points [...]
