Christmas with family Part One

Wow!! I guess Christmas is really about the kids as I notice there are no pictures of the adults. Oops! Sorry. Auntie Audrey, Uncle Mark, Grandma Tutu and Grandpa Dave were also there but are behind the scenes. So is Todd's side of the family but this was the only opportunity that I got to get together with my side to celebrate Christmas this year.

Heather's 8th Birthday

Heather had her birthday with the family on the 23rd. Her cousins, aunts and uncles from both sides of the family were there as well as Grandma, Grandpa, Grandma Tutu and Grandpa Dave.

House For Sale!!!!!

Now one of the reasons I had been so bad at keeping up on the blog was because we decided to take on a really big project at a really busy time. We decided to see our house at Christmas!!!! We had been house hunting for a while and put an offer on a couple of places. One, the offer was not accepted and the second house the offer was accepted subject to the sale of our home and an inspection. A couple days before Christmas we had the inspection and decided to not purchase the home. We were very disappointed but decided to continue to look and sell our home.

Christmas at the Fort

Ft. Langley, a HBC fort, had a special event for Christmas so we decided to go check it out with friends. There was music, story telling, carolling by the fire, hot chocolate to sip and a visit with Santa and Mrs. Claus. Heather even got to practice her french with one of the volunteers.
