Christmas 2010


This was our Pre- Christmas decorating.  We got the tree the last weekend that Chandler was home so he could help us decorate.  He's so big now!!

My boys and me.  It was a good picture.

Little Man was not happy about Christmas tree shopping.
It was a quiet Christmas this year in our household.  Chandler was at his dad's so we only had Leigham at home to celebrate with. My sister came down, but my brother was at his fiances parent's house.  My mom and Grandma did not come down because my sister and I were leaving for Vegas that night for our early morning flight.  Adrian's mom and brother came by for supper and gifts but his Dad was working so it was quiet and not at all like a Christmas we are used to.

Merry Christmas Hugs for Sasha or as Little Man calls her "Gog"


We played games and ate a turkey. We cooked our Turkey in an electric oven this year, it was so fast and it didn't heat up our house like in past years.  We had stuffing and mashed potatoes and gravy, then we had rice crispie squares and shortbread cookies for dessert.  We played Scene It Disney and I kicked butt.  It was all in all a good day, but I miss the Christmas of the past when I got to spend time with so many family members and friends.

Helping mom now

Even Sasha was spoiled.

So many presents for Little Man

He's blowing raspberries while he vacuums with his new Fisher Price Vacuum.  That's right my little man likes to clean, his favourite toys, a broom, a duster, a mop and now the vacuum.


Next year will definitely be different.  It should be fun!!!

    I would trade you my 7 christmas' for your quiet one! Finley also loves all the cleaning equipment. I bought her the fisher price vacuum from a second hand store a few months ago, it was the best 5.50 I have ever spent on a toy! Can't wait to hear about your trip to Vegas, I am going in November for my sister's 30th!!

Friday Favourites!! Friday Five Link Up

Image
I'm again linking up with the girls in DC, Mar, Courtney and Cynthia for the Friday Five.  I've been waiting all week to write this post and I'm so glad I get to talk about my Favourite things!! I'm going to talk about my new favourite things, things I've recently discovered and now use on a daily basis!!! 1) I've discovered some new make up palettes.  Make up and I have gone through many phases and faces in my life. For a time all I bought were the cover girl eye shadows, blushes and mascara.  Then I grew up and started experimenting with other drug store make up. I was a bit of a hoarder.  Then in the past 5 years I've moved from palettes of Make up to single colours that I would blend. I've used Mary Kay, Benefit, Arbonne and I've enjoyed them all.  But recently I've been wanting to buy a New palette of colours so I could change up my look, and I found two that I love!! I got the Sephora IT Palette for smokey eyes and Benefit Bright

40th Birthday Bucket List

I am turning 40 this year.  After turning 39, I struggled with turning 40, the thought would take my breathe away and I felt sick.  I don't even know why, it's so dumb, I rarely feel like I am 40, sometimes I think I am still only 25.  So it's strange that for at least six months, I was in a state of anxiety every time I thought about turning 40.  It probably had something to do with my depression and as I move out of that state, I am less encumbered by turning 40 and more willing to face it head on with a smile on my face. So I have come up with a list of things I am going to do in the 365 days that I am 40.  Some of them are things I should have done years ago, but I have neglected and some are brand new who would have thought I would want to do this items. 1. Get a Will. 2. Travel to Vancouver (this one I get to check off since I did this as my birthday trip with my mom) 3. Travel to Vegas 4. Travel to Mexico 5. Travel to New York City. 6. Travel to the East Coa

My Heart Belongs in.... {Friday Five}

Ok I'm going to join a link up and follow along for the next few Friday's posting my Friday Five!! I learned about this Link Up through Run Salt Run , and she follows along with Mar On the Run .  Both are great blogs for runners which is how I found them through a google search!! You can see their Link Up Badge on the right hand side of my blog!! If you are interested in doing a Link Up, even starting one of our own for Alberta (if you are an Alberta Blogger) let me know I'd totally be down for doing that. The first topic is your favourite city, well I've travelled a bit in my life and I've lived in a few different cities, but my favourite still is Lake Tahoe (which technically may not be a city, but it's my favourite place!! So here are the Top Five Reasons I love Lake Tahoe!! 1. It's location What could be better then a community nestled in the mountains with a huge lake at it's centre? But that's not all, it's right on the border of C
