Our holidays started with a visit from great friends

 Kids were in best friend heaven.

 

Post Christmas Walk and Rogue 1

 Thetis lake. Lovely.

Waiting patiently, he does.

The Butchart Gardens. Wonderful.

 I wouldn't say we're exactly naturals on ice, but the team came away cheery:)

 We loved the magic of the gardens so much, we recreated the magic in our back garden with Charlie, the tree by our shed.

Christmas Eve Ocean Play, then on to Christmas Day!

Glen and kids muck about in the distance

 Nana heads toward Cattlepoint.

The two lads stayed out for more play in the sunset, despite the chill.

 We were all very spoiled.

 
 

 
    Check out all the loot from Auntie Andrea, Shaun and Jess!!! The treats were great, thank you Team Tipping, and thanks and Merry Christmas to our entire family in the UK and Japan!

The big family gift: a slackline!

Finishing touches on the feast- the meringue mushrooms

Night time play with lego and puzzles. We are soon to crack into our amazing games from Klynnie!

Auntie Les- Mac made a Rudolph to go with your tree!

We forgot to take a pic of Nana's delicious Roast Beef!

Christmas Masterpieces

 It's a Christmas Kylo Ren, of course! (by Mac)

 More of the SW franchise

 They know how to crank out the holiday cheer in Kindergarten!

 A lovely Snowman by Sav (most of her creativity this holiday has been channeled into making homemade scarves):

The Padawan-Yoda-Jedis. We're awesome.

Mac's first official season on a team sport. He's having a blast.

Just showing off my phone camera. It's pretty great.

Let's Get this Season Started!

With an outrageously fun party chez Team Z!

 The handsome Glen, killing it in the kilt-x-wing-death-star jumper!

 Thank you, Koji, for the ham-of-the-year! (and fudge, and cookies, and sausage rolls...mmm)

 The morning after. It was rough, people. Rough.
