We have been working hard to unpack and organize the apartment. I am desperate to have everything complete and settled before J returns to work. With the holidays right in the middle it makes settling in a challenge, but it is so good to be in Canada for the holidays. Meanwhile, Ethan has started to pull himself to his knees and is crawling around like crazy. Maybe he will be walking by the time Grandma and Auntie Kristie arrive later this winter.
We have all the rooms pretty much done, except for our bedroom. Things are far from being uber organized but I am trying to be ok with that for the moment. Our car is still sitting in Ontario. ugh. Hope to see it come the New Year.
We are all set for Christmas dinner. J carried a turkey home (uphill in the snow … he is so sweet) and we have gathered up all the trimmings. The presents are all wrapped and the stuff for the stockings are ready for the stuffing. I always get so anxious at this time. I am so excited … is it CHRISTMAS yet? Becca is getting really excited too.
I was reading through the archives of Christmas past. Last year she was so excited she woke up many times throughout the night in hopes that it was morning! I am really hoping despite her excitement she can sleep this year! It amazes me how much she has grown over the years. I am so grateful to have this blog and record some of these amazing moments.
We plan on cooking our dinner Christmas eve, then be all sloth like after presents are opened and pick at the leftovers. I so need to get back on track after Christmas with watching what I eat. I have some mighty goals for the upcoming year.
We wish you a very Merry Christmas and hope your family is as happy as ours

Merry Ho Ho guys! Enjoy every second of that great Canadian snow!
Merry Christmas to all of you.
Ethan oh my, he is not allowed to start walking yet! Have you told him that? He is growing so fast
Mmmmmm I love the idea of playing sloth and picking at left ovetrs on Christmas day. We so gotta try that one year.
Ethan always looks so happy in his pictures! Makes me want to come over and play with him!
Merry Christmas to you, J, Becca and Ethan! Hope it is wonderful!
Do you guys do a gingerbread house? We bought a kit to do this year, which will never be as good as Gramma’s, but it is such a part of our Christmas that I really want to share that with my own family too.
Merry Christmas! We’ll be thinking of you guys.
I hope you have a merry Christmas!!!
Merry Christmas! May you have a lovely holiday and a peaceful New Year.
Very best wishes to you and yours from me and mine!
Dropping by to wish you and your family a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 2008
I can read the excitement in your words. We already did our Christmas. With a blended family we sometimes have to do these things when everyone is together at the same time.
Ethan is progressing so quickly!
Hope you all have a wonderful Christmas!
It is crazy how much Becca’s grown! I can’t wait to see Ethan…he was just a tiny little sleepy cutie pie last time…
Merry Christmas!
A very Merry Christmas to you all! We also have our dinner on Christmas Eve (with my family anyway) so we can be lazy on Christmas day. Enjoy! And have fun in the snow too!!
This morning, as Jamie was cuddling, he heard, “It’s christmastime” as a song on the radio and started yelling “Get out of bed. Christmas is here!” It’s just a song. Really. But sleep was over
. I don’t think we’ll be getting much seep tonight 
, wishing you more. Merry christmas.
