Christmas 2012

 Happy Holidays, friends and family!

Autumn's second Christmas was awesome. She got royally spoiled and was the centre of attention all day long. Teddy and I woke up at 5:30am super excited and not able to sleep so we got up, brewed some coffee and spent two and a half hours waiting for Squish to wake up so that we could watch her open her gifts. When she finally woke up, we had a delicious pancake brekkie and snapped a million pictures of her ripping off wrapping paper and playing with her new toys. She seemed a bit frustrated as we kept handing her new parcels and she hadn't had much of a chance to play with the items that she had already opened. Thankfully, she has had most of today to play at her leisure in her jammies. Lucky little bug.

Christmas was great. My parents hosted a wonderful dinner with tons of family and a few friends. The food was amazing and the company was lovely. We left stuffed and happy and feeling spoiled. The only things missing were our far away family members in BC, California, Alberta and Michigan. Thank goodness for Skype!!
