MERRY CHRISTMAS ALL!

Another Christmas day has almost come and gone - and what a great one it has been (even if it is windy and rainy outside!)
We spent the morning opening a wonderful collection of presents and feasting on a gourmet breakfast.
The day was topped off with a scrummy Christmas dinner.

Liberty and Tamzin decorated the table beautifully!

 


I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and most of all - Remember the Reason for the Season!

Well here I am - finally. 
It has been quite some time since I last posted and so much has happened since then!

I have been to New Zealand and back, dad turned 70,  my niece got married, dad had a triple by-pass, my other niece got engaged, Chris arrived from New Zealand, we went on our 2 week school tour to California, Joy (Alistair's Mom) arrived from New Zealand, and we are now at our friends place in Seattle for Christmas!

Dad's 70th - Mark, Lance, Mom, Dad, Heather and Me!

Dad's by-pass operation - it went well but it is a slow road to recovery!






One of the 21 Christmas Concerts Fountainview did this season.


Chris all snuggled down for the night in the gym - with 112 others of us!

Well that about brings you up to date with our lives!  I do not know where the last 3 months have gone!  I am hoping for a little rest and relaxation over the holidays, but first I have to do some shopping.............

Thanksgiving at Whistler










Last weekend was Thanksgiving weekend here in Canada.  The students had a week off so most of them headed home.  We headed to Whistler - along with the Hall Family, the Lemon Family and a couple of 'extra's'.  We stayed 3 nights in a very fancy apartment/hotel type place.  We really enjoyed it (I didn't want to come home)!  On Friday evening we had a combine Thanksgiving meal with the Hall and Lemon families.  Yolanda organized a room in their hotel that we were able to have our meal in.  It was a great evening - made up of wonderful food, great company and lots of fun.  To finish the evening off we watched The Gathers - Thanksgiving DVD, on the very large TV in the room.  
Thanksgiving is a great time to stop and reflect on all the blessings we have received throughout the year and to give thanks to our Lord!
