~My Santa Baby~

My Christmas gift from Toby this year, was to spend New Year's Eve in Victoria BC! We will take the Victoria Clipper up on Monday morning and return New Year's night!

While we are there, we have tickets to the Butchart Gardens Holiday light display.

~We wish everyone a Happy and Healthy 2008 full of many blessings~

Christmas 2007

* I did not do a great job of taking pictures this Christmas. The few we do have seem to be when Toby grabbed the camera. I realized I never took a picture of our tree or any of the gifts. I completely missed capturing Blake and Bennett's Santa gift of an X Box 360!! I did not get any pictures of the boy's opening their stockings. I seem to have no pictures of us opening gifts with our family on Christmas Eve, and I forgot to take my camera to my Mom's on Christmas Day! So, here is what I did capture. We did have a wonderful day, but I am so dissapointed I didn't capture more of it.

The boys reading one of my favorite books, Santa's Favorite Story.

Blake reading Twas the night before Christmas


Bennett reading Santa Mouse

A gift from Grandpa Joe

A little something for the rockstar in the family!

~Christmas Cruise~

We kicked off our Christmas festivities on the 23rd with a Christmas Cruise with Uncle Peter. There is a Christmas ship that sails nightly in December decorated with lights and a different choir each night. Many people decorate their own boats and join in the cruise. This year, Uncle Peter decorated his boat with lights and took us out to follow the Christmas ship. The weather held up perfectly and we had cider and cookies on board. It was such a magical evening.

~Merry Christmas~

~ Many Christmas Blessings from our family to yours~

The Nutcracker

Today I went to The Nutcracker with my girlfriend and her daughter. What a wonderful way to feel the Christmas spirit. We had such a fun time together, and I cannot wait for the year I get to bring my daughter along.

~Things I Love~

First Snow

We got a light dusting of snow over the weekend...just enough to make everything look magical.

Classic & Fun

I love clothes and fashion. I tend to have a mix of clothes in my wardrobe....some classics with fun and trendy things mixed in. So, "our girl" will have a little mix of that in her wardrobe too!

A classic white shirt, a turquoise tutu, and a yummy leopard fur coat with hot pink satin lining, how devine!
