Christmas Chaos

Christmas Day....lots of gifts to unwrap. Grandma & Grandpa came over for breakfast.....then we headed off to their place for Christmas dinner, and celebrations with the whole family.

Festive Fun

Leading up to Christmas....I returned to work after maternity leave. At almost a year, Rhys is a chatterbox, and cruising around the living room (but not walking on his own).
We went to see the Nutcracker Ballet, a Canucks Game.....and we went to Lily's Breakfast-with-Santa piano recital where she played 2 small pieces, a Christmas carol duet with her teacher, and sang Feliz Navidad in front of about 30 people!

Wild Weather

A record snowfall, a White Christmas...and of course the usual chaos on the roads, and people house-bound....but pretty nevertheless! We shoveled like everyone else....but also had fun toboganning, and even some skiing.....
This is Jason digging our car out (with Lily's help!), our backyard, and the icicles as seen from Rhys's bedroom window. The pirate? well....don't ask......(as usual, click on any of the pictures to enlarge them.)

Santa Sighting

One of the first, and possibly the last year for a while....that neither kid is afraid to sit on Santa's knee!
