Okay, where do I start!! We have had a super busy, but fun week. We had a fantastic Christmas with friends and family. Last Saturday we headed out to Chilliwack with my parents for Christmas at Carm & Paul's place. The roads were quite bad going out there and we even considered turning around and going back home. We managed to keep going and we got held up around Hope because there had been an accident and that added about 2 1/2 hours to our trip!! The girls did amazing, thanks to the portable DVD player our friends lent us. We left home about 9am and we got to my sister's place around 3pm. Megan did not sleep in the car and so she missed her nap for the day and she was still happy.
We had a great couple of days at my sister's place and it was very relaxing! I spent quite a bit of time in their hottub. It was SO nice! Kirsten came out on Saturday in the afternoon and evening. It was so great to see her again. We always have such a good time together.
On Sunday morning we opened presents and then in the afternoon my grandma and aunt and uncle came out for a Christmas dinner. Megan was such a good helper during the gift opening. She handed out all the gifts to people and she loved it!! We came home on Monday and the roads were great! We managed to get home in a little over 3 hours.
On Christmas Eve, Jeff's family came over and we had a fondue. So much fun!! Megan was so excited to be with her uncles. On Christmas morning, we just opened gifts at home and hung out together just the 4 of us. I had made wifesaver and we had that for breakfast. Megan was cute opening her gifts and she was so grateful...after each present she would come up to us and hug us and say "thank you". What a good girl!! Around lunch, we went over to Jeff's parents place and hung out with the family and the girls had their naps there. We played games and then we had a very delicious dinner! Opa came over as well and we got some cute pictures with Opa and the girls.
On Boxing day, we went to see our dear friends, Derek and Colleen's brand new baby girl!! She was born about 6 weeks early and she so tiny and cute!! Her name is Sarah and she was just under 5 lbs. I couldn't believe how small she looked, especially compared to Gabby. We are so happy for them and look forward to getting to know Sarah. I am so glad they had a girl and now our girls will have another girl to play with!! (I don't have a picture of her downloaded yet, but I will post it next time).We also got to meet Eric's girlfriend, Traci for the first time. She flew in from Portland and is here for about 4 days. She is such a sweetheart and we have really enjoyed hanging out with her. She is so much fun and a perfect match for Eric!!
This morning, Jeff and I went shopping for a couple of hours. Jeff's dad came over and watched the girls. I was looking for a new pair of jeans, but I didn't have any luck today:( Tonight we are having a bunch of friends over for the evening. We will just hang out and maybe play some games and eat, eat, eat!!I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas!!
