Christmas

I don't know about you, but I've been having a great holiday! I haven't had much time to pause & blog, nor go through the 1700 photos I've taken in the past week... but I have been spending lots of time with family - eating, laughing & playing games. To me, that's what Christmas is all about.

Santa certainly spoiled us this year - just look at all those presents! How incredibly lucky we are! I hope everyone received what they asked for - I sure did. I got some clothes, chocolate, books, things for the kitchen, some vintage jadeite dishes (that's right!!!), Christmas decorations, a tripod & a cross-hatch filter for my camera, bath stuff & more. Here's my new filter in action:We've also been celebrating quite a few birthdays this past week: my gramma on the 23rd, Dustin (the oldest of the 3 kids) on the 24th, my mom yesterday & Eddy turns 4 on the 31st. We're going to go skating, have free ice cream cake (my aunt owns the Dairy Queen in North Bay - sweet!) & then bring in the new year in style: games, fondue & maybe a few drinks (or more than a few). Pat & I are planning on driving home on the 3rd. I'm so not looking forward to getting back to reality...

I hope everyone is having a blast - Happy New Year!
