We had a very busy, but also incredibly fun holiday! Ben's brother Ahren and his wife Kath, along with their two munchkins (Mackenzie (2.5) and Charlie (8 mo.) came to stay with us from Dec. 23rd until Jan. 3rd. Joanne and Paul divided the time and each came down for several days, and we were all together for Christmas day along with my family, which was pretty special. We had a great time- a trip to the museum, lots of fun outside, Jack and Mackenzie's very first movie theatre experience, and Kath and I even managed to sneak in a trip to the spa... something that has become somewhat of a tradition for us. Fortunately, the boys haven't put their collective feet down on this particular tradition quite yet... I think they realize that happy moms = happy families!
All in all, a very festive and wonderful couple of weeks. 4 kids under the age of 3, 2 dogs, 2 cats, 4 very tired post (and pre)-reno parents, all of the grandparents you could ever hope for, 2 separate trips to the hospital (nothing serious... almost as importantly, nothing related to the food I cooked...), and a partridge in a pear tree.
What a way to ring in 2010!
Happy New Year!
