After delivering a Power Point presentation that would challenge some Wall Street board members, the girls convinced us let them have a pet... hedgehog?!? A strange choice, yes, but they were certain this prickly critter could be loved and cuddled (and not walked outside in -30 degree weather), so we agreed.  It was a long wait after Christmas, but last night we drove halfway across Montreal to the breeder's house and picked up their 2 month old treasure.  So far he hasn't come out of his hiding spot much, and we're learning how to handle and care for him, but the girls have been patient and gentle so we're off to a good start.

It's been a bitterly cold Christmas holiday all across Canada. Somehow, brave Guy has kept up his cross-country skiing in our backyard. This is how he returns from a night ski:

The girls are on their third year of piano lessons. It's a little tough getting practice time fit into the schedule, but their skills are coming along great. Here is Estelle playing her Christmas carol. It's perfect and she is so proud!!
