December musings

Wow! It is the last month of 2010 and as always, it's a good time to think back of our year together. Our three most fun adventures would have to be:

1) Hawaii trip with wonderful friends
2) Celebrating Canada Men's Gold medal in Downtown Vancouver
3) Bright nights at Stanley Park

For Vince's 33rd birthday, we took him to Squamish to take part in the "Polar Express Train". I guess it was more for the kids than him but then again, it brings us so much joy when we see them happy. The train ride was 50 mins. long and it was a bit too long for our little ones. We should definitely try it again when they are older and can appreciate the story more. During the train ride, a lot of people came in their PJs and they even gave out hot chocolate and cookies like the story.

Currently, we are in Toronto visiting my side of the family (Isabel's side) while Vince stayed in Vancouver to work. Thankfully, Auntie Lulu came along for the plane ride and was integral in helping out with the boys. I have come to truly appreciate my sister for all that she does for our family! She's so loving and reliable. I just love her to pieces! It's hard to believe that when we were growing up, I used to be so mean to her and would even beat her up. :( What a bad big sister I was! I shall try to make it up to her from now on...

One of the main reasons why I wanted to bring the boys to Toronto is for them to get to know their great-grandparents. I feel as though it's a real privilege for them to still have great-grandparents and it's also such a blessing to see four generations together.
