1 She's enamoured by the Christmas season. The lights and busyness is something that she is enjoying very much. She takes it all in and is constantly asking what things are or why and wanting to see it all.
2 She opens all my big Rubbermaid boxes and puts Christmas all over the house. It's rather amazing to watch her childlike excitement. Soon we have garlands over the door, pictures on the walls and lots of candles everywhere.
3 Our cat is officially spoiled!! Nick and Sara have lots of fun feeding her treats, wet food and more treats. Is it any wonder when she comes inside in the morning that she heads right for their room?
4 We watch two movies. Skyfall which is the new James Bond movie and we are disappointed in it and Inside Man with Denzel Washington which was thoroughly enjoyable.
5 She makes us an authentic Chinese dinner. Sweet and sour pork, stuffed peppers and prawns in garlic/soy sauce accompanied by a giant pot of rice. Excellent. Note to self: take notes.
6 The snow comes in like a lion and we are soon in a winter storm. The power goes out in our town and we are soon lighting candles and finding flashlights.
7 What do we do when is snows on an island in the Pacific? Hot tub of course and soon the two kids are challenging each other to make snow angels in the snow.
8 We don't find any board games but we did find lots of his boxes of things from when he lived at home. He has a lot of fun finding clothes, books, stuffies and computer games and music. He smiles from ear to ear when he finds the special ones.
9 Boy do they love to shop! They gather items that are difficult to find in China and soon the third and extra suitcase they've brought is full to the brim and they are taking the heavier things out. We get full refunds on it all and no extra fees will be charged at the airport for overweight baggage.
10 Nick and Sara are headed to the interior this morning but a winter storm has delayed seaplanes, ferries and flights from the island to the mainland. They finally go through security but then spend another couple of hours waiting. Eventually, we hear from them and they are in Vancouver but now trying to make alternate plans to get them to their destination.
11 She says they are in the 'customer shit on you line' at the airport. Too funny! They finally get on a plane at 8pm and are headed to see family in the interior. Yay for babies and brothers and sister in laws!
12 The truck now has a new white canopy, winter tires and new rims. Merry Christmas to the Mr. Men really do love their trucks don't they?
