The Year of Seven!

The day starts out pretty nicely when you turn 7.

Then...

On top of a beautiful family party with a bestie, Nana, and Team N, Mac had a fun party with his Willows buds.
Treasure hunt, trampoline time, arts and crafts, pasta, Yoda Soda (heh heh, Kale smoothie) and ice cream.

 
 

 
 

Ray made a surprise appearance in between her own two parties. 

New Year's/Hogmanay 2017

It was a peaceful, beautiful Hogmanay in Oak Bay. A stunning walk to the local beach, and sushi/movie night chez Nana. Perfect. 

  
 
 

Annual Ride-For-Requins - 2017

In honour of Aunty Sha Sha, we've started an annual charity shark ride on her birthday. We're still taking donations!

 
 

Wrapping up on the holiday silliness

 Le chat- still the star of the house (Yes, she's wearing a Mac Ride t shirt. And, yes, Mac knows where Scout's lips have been. He doesn't care.)

 Stormy gets put to work.

Vietnamese Stormy?

New cleats for this goofy girl and her growing feet.

 And some bonus time with Auntie Les!

Pizza with Nana, thanks to Scout.

Snow Magic

Yes, it actually snows on Christmas eve, and left enough for snowmen on Christmas day. It was magical.

 
 
 
We were all spoiled and feel very lucky.
