Yesterday's advent treat was a most likely once in a lifetime event. The olympic torch has been making it's way through Montreal this week in preparation for the winter games in Vancouver next year, finally reaching our neck of the woods last night. What a thrill to see it. The children were very excited and proud to know that the torch bearer was someone who they had a connection to (the son of someone in our community).

The children cracked open their money banks to buy some special red mittens to support the Canadian athletes. Good job too. There's a snowstorm outside today.
