I feel kinda empty. Not sure if I am tired from all the festivities or I just plain need to get back into a routine, I am kinda funny like that. I just feel empty. It doesn’t help that my little sis had already headed off on her travels. She left for Charlotte, NC this morning and will stay for a month before heading back towards Regina, SK. Sadly I wish I had a way to keep her here a bit longer, it seems we only get small snippets of time with her before she heads out again. The good news is she is looking to go back to school in the fall and she is looking at a few schools closer to home. In the mean time, take a glance at a few more random shots…
What a holiday. Christmas was so much fun this year. Just watching the kids open gifts, play with gifts, share their gifts was really great. This was the first year that “J” kinda knew what was going on. “A” was thrilled to pieces with his new camera, so we have another budding photographer here in our house. “J” got lots of hockey stuff, his own gloves, jersey and sticks, we are taking sponsors ;).
One of the hard parts about the holiday is knowing that my sisters and the kids are only here a couple of weeks more. It would seem that I cannot convince them to move back, but I will keep on trying.
The hardest part of all was dealing with my two very pregnant sisters. It cuts like a knife. Not sure how else to say it really. I know it isn’t their fault and I wish them all the happiness in the world, but it does not make it any easier to hang out with them and hear them chat it up. Not sure how I will make it through March, but will be working on it for sure. In the mean time I will leave you with a few random shots of the holiday.

Today, we take a break from Christmas celebrations and preparations to celebrate a birthday! Poor Hubby has to share his birthday with this major holiday celebration! This year, at least, he took the day off work. We are letting him sleep in, even though his dad woke up at 4:30am Vancouver time, to call and wish his son a Happy Birthday! Once he does get up we will do the gift thing, go out for a few last minute items like wine 😉 and return for an afternoon and evening of family time. Happy Birthday Hubby, and no you are not old 🙂
Although I am sure I will make it back here in the next few days ( I need something to do when “J” wakes up at the crack of dawn), some of you may not. I want to take the time to wish you all the Merriest of Christmases or the Happiest of Hannuka’s and an all round Festive time with your family and friends. I look forward to seeing you all again in the New Year!
Merry Christmas & A Happy New Year!!
