Post-Christmas



Happy New Year Everyone!
Christmas was wonderful here in Nanaimo. We had Christmas 3 times. One with the Faulkner's. It was such a fun watching all the kids open their presents. It gets more fun every year I think. Everyone kept saying how full it would have been if the McNeills would have been there too. (we wish they were there)

Christmas number two was Christmas Day. We woke up opened stockings . . . I actually opened 2 stockings. I got so carried away and opened my stocking and then moved on to opening Uncle Dale's stocking too. I felt so bad. We had yummy breakfast, more presents, snacks and naps followed by dinner and flying helicopters. We quickly ate dessert and hit the road to Victoria to pick up my parents. It was a sleepy drive to Victoria on full bellies and Christmas tunes. Luckily the weather was goof over the Malahat.

Christmas number three was on Boxing Day with my parents and sister Annie & Ryan. We had lasagne (a traditional un-Christmas meal) and opened gifts from each other. It was amazing what my parents fit in their luggage. We had a great time. My parents were her for a week and we all went to Belingham for some power after Christmas shopping as well as to ring on the new year. It was fun! Don't let Jamie say anything different - he got a new game to play, Memoir 44.
We have been learning Caylus too. It's a really fun game! Lots of rules, but FUN!

I had my last weekend at the Quilted Duck and am back to my part-time schedule which is a nice break. I am enjoying my slower schedule. It's a nice change.

We start our regular schedule this week. Actually tonight is our first night back at youth. It should be great!

Love you all,
Kristin (and Jamie too)

p.s. we are very excited and eagerly awaiting the news for MUNCH'S arrival! May I suggest January 20!!
