Merry Christmas!!

Busy, Busy!!















A Hotel Christmas Tree

Merry Christmas Everybody!

We have had a very nice, but VERY quiet Christmas here in our hotel room. As most of you know I am on bedrest and have been since before Christmas (everything seems to be going fine!) so Steve had to take charge of everything. He did a fabulous job of shopping for us all. Steve and I have worried that we have started to share a brain. The one present I managed to get him before being incapacitated is the same present he bought himself for Christmas! And the one present I asked him for for myself is the one present he'd already bought for me! (For those who can't stand the suspense, it was a passport folder and a blowdryer, respectively!)

Fin was thrilled silly with his train table and has been working hard at keeping the trains running on time ever since Christmas morning. Fin had seen the box for the train table a few days before Christmas, as he had to go along on the shopping expedition, but had not seen it or heard a word about it since. On Christmas morning, when Steve got him out of bed, the first words out of Fin's mouth were, "Trains! Trains!!".

We spent the rest of the day relaxing and enjoying the train table. We had bought tickets to the buffet dinner in the hotel restaurant and the hotel was very accomodating in allowing Steve to go down and fill some plates, which the staff brought up for us. I literally didn't have to leave the couch for the entire day. We had a lovely Christmas, but are really looking forward to next year when it won't be in a hotel and I won't be on bedrest!

Best Wishes to All of you!! We miss you!

Hey Mac-Taks!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you all! Hope you're feeling better, Thai!
Denise and Steve were around for most of the holidays with us which was great - Heather and I are missing them already. Your new place looks unreal! I hope the guest room has the same view as the other rooms!

Hi Guys!
Happy New Year! Looks like Xmas was a success for Fin! Maybe he could call Vancouver Transit and give them some advice on keeping a schedule!

Andrew and I had a nice jaunt to Seattle and Victoria after Xmas. It was so nice to have some together time.
I am excited about your new apt.!!! It looks AMAZING! I think you will have to start a waiting list for all your Canadian family and friends who will be vying for the spare room. :)

I am very happy to hear that you are feeling better. I have been eating cans of 'Heart of Palm' in support. (yum!)

lots of love
