I haven't written in a while because as usual things have been so busy, especially with the holidays! BUT it has been awesome and a bit sad at the same time. Usually we go home to Winnipeg for Christmas but this year we decided to stay here and spend our first Christmas with just the three of us. As nice as it was to have just our little family, it was kind of sad not being with my family. Also, it is my brother-in-law's birthday ON Christmas so I'm sad I missed that too. And of course, I miss my neice Emelia like crazy!!! AND, we missed out on Ukrainian Christmas this year too, which is always fun with Dan's side of the family. It's always fun picking on Dan with his cousins :) Anyway, we had a great time here at home. Here it is for ya, a long holiday, shortened into blurbs...
~Dan's dad left us on Christmas day to fly to Halifax to be with the other half of the family.
~We opened up presents and emptied stockings right away! All I can say is, boy did Dan do good this year!!! He got me so many awesome gifts... I'm so lucky!!!
~Lucas was showered with gifts from his Aunts, Uncles and Grandparents. What a spoiled kid!!! He loved everything and couldn't wait to get into it all!
~Our Christmas dinner consisted of anything but traditional things... we had slow roasted ribs and fried chicken! I know, decadent, right? Well, it IS the holidays right?? Then Dan made us homemade Creme Brulee! Again, how lucky am I??
The rest of our holiday has been filled with ridiculously delicious food, relaxation and good ol' family time. Dan is off for a few days and we've been keeping Lucas home too so it really does feel like the holidays! Our dear friends Kevin and Megan are coming to visit us in 4 days (yes, i've been counting down!!) and I can't wait for them to come!!! It will be nice to have visitors from home.
Well, I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday and has indulged in as many treats as us :)
