Christmas on Vancouver Island

I'm a little behind in getting this post out, but here it is.

After Victoria we headed up to Courtenay for 4.5 days. The weather was great on Christmas Eve, in the afternoon I went out for a bit to take pictures. I found this memorial to 2 pilots that were killed at the Air Force base a few years ago. They planted a tree as a memorial and some people decorated it for Christmas.




The kids hanging out with Bubba.



In the afternoon we went to a school playground for the kids, but Grandma and Bubba were getting into the fun too.









Here is a shot where I am trying to be artistic with ice.


We found this present under the tree.


On Christmas morning the real presents mysteriously appeared


The kids opened their stocking and their present from Santa then they could play until Auntie and Unc showed up.







Here is Kyle showing off his construction set


After naps Auntie and Unc Unc came and the presents began to be opened.
Kyle really enjoyed the digital camera the kids were given.




Auntie and Unc Unc make sure our kids have all the latest Canucks memorabilia.





The family picture before we dug into a yummy turkey dinner.


On Boxing Day, Jamie and went to Mount Washington to do some snowboarding. We had a beautiful day and by the end of the day we were both pretty tired. Good times.






On the 27th we went home and on the 28th we went to Hemlock for a night. On Saturday, the 28th, I took Aaron skiing, but after 4 runs Aaron had had enough. I am trying to get him actually skiing instead me holding him and so he tires out faster. In the afternoon I snowboarded with my cousin who was doing really well as it was only his second day snowboarding.
We spent New Year with friends from church in Aldergrove, we had a good time playing games and chatting about our most embarassing moments. I didn't take any pictures though.
So now herewe are in 2008, Happy New Year everyone!
