Happy Holidays!!

Reporting to you from snowy Salmon Arm. We had the best drive we've had in a long time, on Saturday morning, and arrived to a pile of snow in Salmon Arm. It is beautiful!!!
Hard to believe that Christmas Eve and morning have already happened. Now life has slowed to peaceful lull. We have been eating, sledding and playing games. Very relaxing. Greg and I are staying over at my parents place while they are down at the coast, giving us our own space and quiet at night time. We took Liam over last night with us, and he slept in til 8:30am. So we are getting lots of needed rest.
Christmas was really fun. We went to the morning Sunday service and later the Christmas Eve service with the live nativity, drama and candlelight.



Greg and I set our alarms and arrived at the house before 7am to wake up Riley and tell him that Santa had arrived and it was time to open presents. Then we all spent the rest of the morning opening our stockings and presents. I was so happy to have Greg open his new ipod I got him, and he spoiled me with clothes and a new lens for portraits!! I put it on yesterday, and though Ava was wiggling, you can see the sweet DOF (or depth of field) with lots of fuzzing on the sides.

I'm sure I'll be having lots of fun with that new lens!!
The boys are enjoying the extra attention and new things to play with.
Hope everyone is having just as much fun, family time and rest as we are.

Hiya Sarah! I'm so glad you had a good trip. Good start to your holiday. Sounds like you're having fun. I wish I was there to see G open his Ipod...I bet he's stoked. We're doing good but it's crazy busy too. I'm looking forward to coming home and seeing you guys too. See you soon.
