Visit to G.G's house

Lucas * Ella * Amber

Ella was in shock that Santa was there ,she couldn't take her eyes off of him.

Well were right into all the holiday festivities. I have posted some pictures of the weeks fun. We made a trip out to VanDusen Gardens with my Mom,Lucas and Amber and us with the 2 kids. I'm happy to say that Ella walked the whole time all by herself and Noah never slept the whole time we were there. He wouldn't miss a beat of his first Christmas. But they both fell into a deep sleep on the way home,it was a lot of work for them both.

The kids and I visited G.G. Besth (great grandma)to see her X-mas decorations ,what a hit they all are with Ella. And we were lucky to see Marilee (Auntie) come over for a drop in to. xo

We also had our annual friends Christmas dinner of 18 Adults,7 kids and 4 baby's. We have been doing this dinner for around 10 years know. It's all the same people and over the years they have multiplied with getting married and having kids. It all started with 6 or 8 people having a nice quiet Christmas dinner. It was very busy night but very worth it to, just to have everybody over together.Next year were going to have to book a hall !

"MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL MY BLOGGER FRIENDS"

Ho hhooohohohoh...

Ella told Santa today that she would like more LEGO and she wanted to help him make toys.AWESOME!

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYBODY!

My dear fat cat named Dori.Look how small her head looks. I swear we only feed her once a day!

This is the Fed Ex man that comes to my neighborhood often. He got stuck that day and sat there for 4 hours. I went out and filled his coffee cup with hot chocolate to keep him warm....poor guy!

Ella excited to see the tall Christmas tree going up.

Ella and Dave finishing it off with the Star on top. My theme for my tree this year is Pink and white....for the girls in the house of course.

Finger licking good date night

Well last night was fun. We had a double date with Bradley and Sarah to a Ethiopian Restaurant called "Harambe" in Vancouver on Commercial and 5th. You use no utensils just your fingers and hope for the best ;)I was always hoping to try it agian and it was awesome. Dave and I first had this adventurous food when we visited Amsterdam. We pigged out at dinner and still had room for some Marble slab icecream. I had the " birthday cake icecream with cookie dough, oreo's and lots of fudge.I just couldn't resist! Need to go for a run after date nights :)
