Posts from — December 2012

Christmas 2012 has been very special as both our boys families came to our home for Christmas; with four grandchildren it added up to 10 people here to celebrate a very joyous family time.

Everyone arrived on December 22nd and it was so good to see the cousins playing together and getting to know each other better

December 24th was Lindsay’s birthday so we had a party. Complete with party games and the final activity was a fish pond where everyone won a grab bag or a surprise. Later on the kids decorated the cupcakes for dessert.

On Christmas morning December 25th the kids actually slept in better than  anyone expected and then the present opening began. It was so much fun watching the kids help each other and their parents rip open the packaging to discover the gifts inside.

Early in the afternoon our niece Tricia stopped by to take family Christmas pictures. This was so good of her and as soon as she has them edited and posted  we’ll be sure to post some of them on our web site. Thanks Tricia….. you’re the best.

For Christmas dinner Kevin drove out and picked up GGMa and GGPa. It was so good that they were able to come over for dinner and be part of Christmas celebrations.

In the early afternoon on December 26th Kevin, Tamara, Sage and Conrad headed home which was a sad time……. however we always look forward to the next time we get to see them.

On December 27th Jeff, Lindsay, Zachary and Oliver headed back to Kelowna right after lunch so the boys would have a snooze in the car on the way home.

The silence in the house is deafening.

We are truly blessed……… Merry Christmas Everyone!

Enjoy the pictures, they are in no particular order. .
