Liam's new thing is to take things from the cleaning closet and copy what mommy does.

I'm training him early :)

Sweeping...

Vacuuming...

And cooking :)

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

I know, we're a little behind...this week has been quite busy as we are getting back into the swing of things. We were out every night last week, so thankfully today I could finally update our blog with our Christmas pictures.

(Side note: This post was started a week ago, and is finally getting posted today :)

Here are the rest of our pictures from Christmas.
After the cruise we headed to Vernon. It was funny going from one extreme weather condition to another in less then 24 hours. The night we got there, our church was putting on "Bethelehem Star" a real life nativity.

Waiting in the cold to see "Bethlehem"

Liam saw his Uncle Gerry as a shepard and pointed at him thinking he was Grandpa, with a beard :)

Melissa, Kyla, and Julia selling necklaces.

Inside the church. It was turned into a Winter Wonderland and looked so great. They had a children's choir, and Auntie Terri was there handing out hot chocolate and cookies.

Getting in a quick visit with my good friend Megan

The rest of the week was getting all set up for Christmas. Here is Jason and Jackson helping decorate the Christmas Tree.

Our Holiday

We are back from our wonderful family holiday, with lots of pictures and memories to share. The first week was spent on our cruise and the second was spent relaxing and celebrating Christmas in Vernon.

There are so many pictures from these 2 weeks, so this first post will be about our cruise.

Liam watching the planes in Toronto

Heading to the cruise with our enourmous amount of luggage

Leaving Miami

Dominican Republic, our first stop

Liam was scared of the ocean at first so he just played in the sand.

Our Next stop: St. Thomas...our favourite!

Liam eventually loved the ocean and we had to chase him around so he wouldn't just run right into the waves :)

Tortola: The British Virgin Islands

All dressed up for dinner


The Mexican restaurant, so yummy!

The main lounge. Can you see the HUGE screen TV?

The slide on the cruise: Looks like I'm having a little more fun then Liam :)


Our final day. Waiting to leave the ship :(
