Sunday, December 24th was a day full of fun traditions and suprises with my family when we celebrated Christmas. After the morning service at church, we had a yummy brunch of crepes with gourmet toppings like caramel apple, strawberry, and chocolate hazelnut sauces, topped with whipped cream - yum! In the afternoon, we relaxed and played a game, then had a delicious supper that mom had prepared. After supper, we gathered around the tree for presents and the Christmas story while sipping mocha egg nog (another yum!). Gifts take forever, but it's so fun the way my mom hands them out in the gifts in themes. Clothes, pyjamas, and this year she had a fun gift for each of us where we opened up a tiny gift, which was a hint to the real gift which was too big to fit under the tree. Scott got a little golf statue, and he had to go out of the room to find his new club, and I unwrapped a martini glass for my collection, and my big gift was a gorgeous mahogony display cabinet for my dining room! Kalia didn't last until even all of her gifts were unwrapped and ended up going to bed an hour early at 8:45 (usually I try to put her down by 9:45), which was strange becuase normally I have to work toget her to bed by a decent hour.

Kalia's first gift was from mom and dad - a little train with animals

Kalia is getting so big and filling out. I can't believe she's over 7 months already. Feels like we just went to visit you in the hospital. -Rebekah Friesen
That train is a real hit!! Kalia will have many hours of fun with that and soon she'll be crawling after it! ;)
