If we were having tea… I would tell you that I decided to take a blogging break during Christmas to spend it with the family and the few post that went up were all scheduled posts.

If we were having tea… I would tell you that 2016 is here and that I wish you a very Happy and Joyous New Year and all the best for the year.

If we were having tea… I would tell you that I am excited for Monday to come so that we can get back into the regular routine of things again. I love the break but its time.

If we were having tea… I would tell you that Tina from BookShipper and myself have begin the new year with doing an Affirmation Jar so that we can keep track of all the good things that happen to us in 2016. I will probably do a little post on that this upcoming week.

If we were having tea… I would tell you that since my last If We Were Having Tea post that I went to the movies to see Joy and the boys went to see Star Wars. I really enjoyed Joy. Have you seen it yet?

If we were having tea... I would tell you that I am working on colouring every day and I managed to complete two already. I am starting small and then gradually working up to the bigger images.

If we were having tea… I would tell you 2016 is going to be the year that I try to eat healthier and get into shape. I am not going to stress about dieting but make the effort to eat more healthier.

If we were having tea… I would tell you that it was great seeing you again this week and that I can’t wait until next week. I hope you have a good week.

If we were having tea… I would tell you that we are in our last hockey game for 2015. That game is happening this afternoon. We tied our game yesterday. We are half way through our regular season.

If we were having tea… I would tell you that last weekend we were in Hawkesbury for a tournament and the kids on the team won their first game 2-1 and we lost our 2nd game 3-0. So that was it for the tournament. A few of us went out for lunch before heading back to Montreal.

If we were having tea… I would tell you that I am officially done with my Christmas shopping, I managed to finish it all this past week with the exception of having to pick up a book Michael asked for yesterday but that is just a quick running in and out. Then the wrapping begins.

If we were having tea… I would tell you that I am going to start my Christmas baking. I feel as though I am behind and don’t think I will get to make all that I want to.

If we were having tea… I would tell you that in last weekends tournament Michael got hustler of the game. He was so happy with this and he skated his butt off for this.

If we were having tea... I would tell you that I am excited for winter break as is Michael. He has been swamped with projects for school and I just found out that he has a Faith First project that is due in January. He will be doing his confirmation in May.

If we were having tea… I would tell you a funny story that happened last weekend. I was strolling through my facebook when we got back last Sunday and saw that a friend I went to elementary, junior high and high school with had posted a photo of her son getting the same hustler of the game like Michael did. They were at the same tournament as us and I didn’t get to see her.

If we were having tea… I would tell you that it was great seeing you again this week and that I can’t wait until next week. I wish you a very Merry Christmas.

If we were having tea… I would tell you that this we are having a busy hockey weekend. We are currently playing in a hockey tournament in Eastern Ontario.

If we were having tea… I would tell you the kids on the team won their first game 2-1 and that was a boost to their morals. We play again this morning (by the time you read this we are there getting ready to play)

If we were having tea… I would tell you that I have not done any Christmas shopping yet. Well technically I guess that isn’t true since I did purchase Tina’s gift (and gave it to her last week) and another friends gift as well since I saw her last week. I do have another present to give a friend hopefully this week and I can’t forget the two secret Santa’s that I took part in either so that is so shopping done.

If we were having tea… I would tell you that this is going to be the last week of school for Michael and then he is off until the beginning of January and he is excited for the break. He is tired and this academic plus program that he is in is tough. There is a lot of homework to do nightly.

If we were having tea… I would tell you we did bring our tree in from outside and it is currently sitting and will be decorated this week.

If we were having tea... I would tell you that we discovered that we have a little bunny taking shelter in our yard. He is so cute and very timid but it reminds me of when I was a kid in New Brunswick and we had a bunny.

If we were having tea… I would tell you I am exhausted. I started the week with a sinus thing and a headache that just won’t go away. A friend recommend seeing someone about it and I plan on calling to see if they can help.

If we were having tea… I would tell you that it was great seeing you again this week and that I can’t wait until next week.

If we were having tea… I would tell you that this was one busy week and I am happy to see it finally end. It was too many things and too much running around.

If we were having tea… I would tell you that this was a crazy hockey weekend again. Michael had off ice training on Tuesday night, a game Wednesday night against our sister team and we lost 3-1 (its too bad that they felt as though they had to be so aggressive) , Friday night we had a team practice, Saturday we had another game against another city and we won 3-2 , and then this afternoon we have another game against another city and I will tell you how that game was next week.

If we were having tea… I would tell you it was parent teacher interviews at Michael’s high school and I am curious to see and speak to his teachers and hear what they had to say and they all raved about how great of a student he is and wishes they had a class full of him.

If we were having tea… I would tell you that I am digging into my Christmas books to start reading. I don’t have a lot but a few to get me into the spirit hopefully. I am finishing up one now and

If we were having tea... I would tell you that I am contemplating going to Toronto in January for the Ontario Library Association conference. The train ticket isn’t that bad but the hotel rate is killing me and its getting harder and harder to find a place near the convention center. I am shocked at the rates because its only Toronto in the winter time.

If we were having tea… I would tell you that I have bought all my baking supplies for my Christmas baking which will begin next week. I have quite a few things I want to make and I will share that on my blog in December with a weekly recipe post.

I recently saw Jennifer from Mrs.Q Book Addict post this on her blog and I thought it was an interesting idea so I thought I might do this as well. I hope that is okay Jennifer?

If we were having tea… I would tell you that Michael got his report on Friday and that he made the academic honor roll for first semester. I am super proud of him. He works hard and studies hard.

If we were having tea… I would tell you that this was a crazy hockey weekend again like most weekends. We had a game yesterday against the 5 place team and we tied 1-1. We are currently in 8th place. Today we have a 7am practice which I didn’t go to for once.

If we were having tea… I would say that its going to be a busy hockey week with an off ice training, a game against our sister team on Wednesday and then another game on Saturday against the 12th place team.

If we were having tea… I would tell you that I am beginning my holiday baking. Well not actually the baking but finding things to make this year. I have a few staples that I always make and I plan on blogging about those in December.

If we were having tea… I would tell you that I have to go to a church dinner and that Michael is having a hard time with going. It was my father in law’s church and it brings back memories of him for Michael. I noticed the last time we went he took it very hard. I was trying to avoid going because I know what it does but it was a no go. I think having to deal with his death earlier this year and then my mom’s, Michael is finding it very hard. I don’t blame him because he is only 12 and his feelings need to be taken into account over the adults who think its perfectly fine and that we are honoring his memory by going.

If we were having tea… I would tell you that it was great seeing you again this week and that I can’t wait until next week.
