Christmas Eve and Santa Arrives

 First Mass, and then a nice dinner of cheese, meets, bread, and sparking apple juice!

 Then onto opening the gifts that arrived during Mass...
 Max takes a break to build his lego


 Charlie and Boris get into the spirit
 Max looks surpised!

Bruno was a really good boy this year...Santa was very generous!  Merry Christmas everyone!

Gingerbread and Lights

 This year has been quite the crazy one...so I wanted to get into the spirit of Christmas....and do some Christmas activities.  Here are the gingerbread houses on display at the Hyatt

 Can I live in this house?
 Or this village?

 Onto VanDusen Gardens for the light displays...Bruno finds it hard to smile for the camera!
 A spectacular show of lights!


 Thanks boys...the trip was fun, but we were done after about half an hour!

Tis the Season

Fall 2011

 What a fall.....during this term ....we felt locked up
 On guard....
 We had time with friends...
 Walks with the Poodle...
 Time to ponder......
 Pose with our friends....
 Think about life.....
Prepare for events....
And overall....RUN to keep up with our lives.  Now, we need to relax and take a break from the craziness of it all...we need Christmas Vacation!

Making a List.....

 We're making a list....
 And checking it twice....
Gonna find out who's naughty and nice.....

The boys check out the toy stores and make wish lists for:
1.  Santa  2. Mom and Dad

Happy St. Nicholas Day

 Put out the boots on the stoop, and wait for St. Nicholas to fill them up!



Chocolate in our boots...thank you St. Nicholas, our first Santa Claus!
