Merry Christmas

We hope that everyone had a very Merry Christmas. We had a great (but busy) Christmas here. The weekend before Christmas we had the Topolski's, the Dean's and the Thornton's over for brunch. Here is a picture of Ethan and Olivia opening her present from the Topolski's and a picture of Olivia playing with her new toy! Thanks again for the presents!! The rest of the weekend was spent shopping and preparing for Christmas. On Christmas Eve we went for a tour of streets of houses that all decorate their house with Christmas lights. Ethan loved the lights and especially the houses with reindeers.

On Christmas morning we all slept in until 9:00 a.m. and then were joined by Uncle Kirk to open presents. Here is a picture of Ethan and his new car!!! He was a little scared at first, worried that Lightning McQueen was going to start moving and talking (he thought it was going to be exactly like the one in the movie. After a little while, he started to like it!! After we opened up presents and got organized, we headed down to St. Catharines for some more presents and a very yummy dinner with my whole family. Ethan had a great time playing with Casey and Bailey and Olivia loved being cuddled by all her aunts and cousins!

Today we braved the malls for some Boxing Day sales. Scott was particularily lucky in his shopping endeavours. He is out right now looking for a new TV for his basement (which he may be able to buy after next Boxing Day). Then back to work tomorrow....
