Christmas and New Years in Vancouver


I'm so thankful that these sweet cousins love each other so much and want to spend every holiday together.  We enjoyed a relaxing (after) Christmas celebration at my Moms house, New Years Eve
brunch at my sisters house with Kristin's family, and rung in the New Year (Vancouver Style) at my Moms.  Playing Pictionary and banging pots and pans at midnight (9pm this year) is how I remember celebrating New Years!

White Christmas

We were all very excited to have a white Christmas this year!!!  The drive home from the airport  on Christmas Eve night was quite stressful, but we made it safely just in time to put out cookies for Santa and head to bed.  We were all very exhausted.  I didn't take many pics Christmas morning since our kids were up SUPER early, but we definitely enjoyed a lazy day of opening/playing with gifts and playing in the snow.




















Christmas in Minnesota

We loved being in snowy/icy Minnesota for Christmas.  Colbie had so much fun sledding with Dad and it was so good to see all of Jon's extended family whom we haven't seen in way too long.
