Merry Christmas 2009

We had a wonderful Christmas season. I'm always a little sad to see it end. We stayed home this year and had our own little quiet, stress free Christmas. Here's a look at some of our highlights this month.


Ian and I went to the Olympic Oval to skate. We had a great time. I used to go Ice Skating all the time as a kid at the local outdoor rink. Even though it's been well over 10 years since I last skated, I managed to not fall once (I'm not sure if I would have been able to get up if I did).








I bought a pre-made gingerbread house kit and this is how it turned out. Despite every effort to help save the poor house, it wouldn't stay up. The kids still had fun, and I'm learning to not be so stressed and just let the kids take over.


Our Christmas Eve Festivities included - watching movies, eating snacks, reading the Christmas story from the scriptures, and opening new jammies.






Christmas morning was fun and chaotic with presents, boxes, wrapping paper and plenty of giggles.


The kids both got new snow gear and they eagerly went out into the back yard and played and did some sledding. Morgan looks like a cute pink marshmallow :).




Morgan can't stay away from her new "baby alive", it poops and pees, squeals, cries and laughs

Christmas is always filled with lots of games, Jeff has beat both Ian and I in scrabble two nights in a row. He's just too good with finding words.
