Update from Maria
Maria had a wonderful holiday attending a lot of parties – more than she is used to. She went to Barrie where she tried snowboarding for the first time and asked her parents if she could have one back home. She was able to talk with her family on New Year’s Eve and was missing her family over the holidays.
