What I love most is that we all love each other no matter what. Sure there are times when things planned don't go the right way and it gets stressful but hey that's life. We sure have a lot of laughs too which always makes my day. I love spending time with family.
We had the opportunity to go to Canada for Christmas. Let me tell you, I was nervous/excited! The last time I was in Canada for Christmas I was five. So yeah....long time ago! Plus I was worried I would freeze but it actually wasn't too bad. I still wore my down coat to like everywhere but it was so much fun to spend time with the Stouffer side of the family. Here are pictures of our fun filled week :) Sorry it is a lot but I didn't want to do a million posts lol

*Christmas Eve Dinner, Christmas Day and Dinner :)
I didn't get a lot of pictures both days. Mainly because I was enjoying the moments. And sadly I didn't capture everyone either but it was great spending time with Family. On Christmas eve we had appetizers and soup. Sadly the Singletons couldn't join us because they had another family dinner but at least we were able to spend Christmas day with them!! :) Christmas day Bret woke me up and I felt like it was 430 in the morning. No joke. I was SO tired! It was actually 730. Needless to say I went back to bed after stockings and presents before church at 1 p.m. We went to church then came back home and got ready to go to Shauna and Ryan's. We spend the evening there and had an awesome Christmas dinner with Turkey and all that goes with it! After dinner we sang some Christmas songs and just had a wonderful time with all the family that was there. It was great!

*Heritage Park-- So one of the days we went to Heritage Park. Apparently during the summer it's really fun with lot's to do but sadly during the winter the only thing open is Gasoline Alley. This place had a bunch of old cars and gasoline pumps. It was kind of cool but after about 10 minutes, you are kind of done. Bret of course had to do their hockey challenge and get this ball into the circle of this board. After like a million tries he finally got it and his name was announced. I didn't get a picture of that... he was with Auntie Shauna but at least he had some fun :)
 |
| Bret on.... PLASTIC...ice. Yep that's fake ice which I thought was kind of funny because it's Canada haha. |
Here are some other pictures and things we did during our fun stay as well:

We had a lot of fun but Christmas went by WAY too fast and I was really sad when it was over and we flew home. Loved the good times with the Stouffer side. Hopefully soon I can visit some of the Thompson families as well. I love family!! :)
