His, Mine and Ours...

We opened gifts with our own little family on the 23rd and it proved to be a fun afternoon! Kelsey and Connor lovingly saved up their paper route money and bought everyone, including eachother, a gift. It was so cute to see the anticipation in their eyes...will they like the gift I bought?? They both voiced later that day that it really did feel good to GIVE (especially when you've earned the $$ yourself). Amen to that.

Why you should NEVER let a 2 Litre of COKE fall on your toe...YIKES...poor Mags!

On Christmas Eve we got together with Dad, Kevin & Carole, Ashleigh, Jaden, Nicole & Wade and yours truly for an evening of food, games etc.

On Christmas Day went to church, watched the kids Sunday School Program and then my entire side of the family, plus the Cross family, were treated to a gourmet Turkey/Strip Loin Feast prepared by Wade (the Take Home Chef as I call him) It was absolutely delicious Wade (pictured below). He topped the dinner off with Creme Brulle and Cocoa Truffles...anyone want to follow his dinner...Easter??

Ready for church Christmas Day...camera was fogged up :(

Mags and Trent were the Little Drummer Boy(s) for the Sunday School Program. On Boxing Day we headed to Gary and Brenda's for Bri's family Christmas...another nice gathering...thanks for the hospitality and fun day!
