Stolen Mail

On Friday we went and got the mail and the kids each got a card so Hailey was pretty excited. We got home and opened the cards and thought it was funny that first of all, there was a Canada Post sticker folded over the top of both, but, whatever we just tore the envelopes open to see what was inside. Second, when we looked inside it was a card with a picture of Santa on it and it was a letter from "Santa" saying that he was coming to visit the kids since they had been good this year etc. A letter from Santa getting delivered on February 2nd? We couldn't figure it out cause it's way too long until Christmas arrives again and it's long past this last Christmas. We looked at the sticker from Canada Post and it just said they apologize for not pulling through with delivering mail on time, or something to that effect.
Vince gave his mom a call since she works at Canada Post and I guess a bunch of mail had gotten stolen by two contractors that they hired to help during the Christmas rush. The couple had stolen 6000 pieces of mail in 2 days. Did they really think that they wouldn't get caught? I guess they had opened the mail and taken all the cash and gift cards out and had been using them. The guy is MIA but the lady is in the process of going through a court case. The odds are really bad for her being that the Crown Prosecutor lives in the area and some of his mail was stolen. What are the chances of that?
So now it's the beginning of February and we just got our "Santa" mail.

they went skiing last year too, and they went by themselves, like they were able to balance. They just werent that into it, they would rather play in the snow, so we didn't push it. but you can put them in lessons this young too if you want.
