Christmas this year was pretty awesome. Sox, her mum, and I joined my sister and my mom at mom’s newly renovated house in Nanaimo. We went up on the 24th, spent a lazy day with the dogs

ate some yummy food

and dreamed of what was under the tree for the next day.

Christmas morning we opened our stockings, played with the toys inside, ate a fabulous eggs benedict breakfast, then settled into opening the gifts.

It was a pretty tiring morning.

Games and fun were had.

Christmas dinner was yummy.

Soon it was time to turn in.

Boxing day Sox and I took Yoshi for a walk on the beach,

enjoyed the sunset,

then loaded our car and headed off to Powell River to visit her dad and step-mom.

On the 27th we took the dogs for a walk around Mud Lake. Very lush and wet forest.

The 28th saw us board the ferry

for the return trip to the island, and the drive home. Very relaxing and fun despite the amount of travelling in such a short time.
