Christmas 2007

We had a wonderful Christmas this year. We started on the 22nd with the Nadeau family at Blake and Karen's house where we spent the afternoon socializing, opening gifts, snacking and sipping a glass of wine or two.

Jackie got lots of great gifts from Grandma and Grandpa Nadeau and Mom and Dad - below is her opening a gift from us.

Anyone remember this old toy - well I found a few items that Fisher Price has brought back - funny - I bet this is the only time she will see a phone shaped like this.

The Turkey - Christmas wouldn't be Christmas without the Turkey. Blake and Amy did a wonderful job on the whole meal including a beautiful bird.


We then left on the 24th for Canmore, where we stayed a few nights and once again enjoyed spending time with family, drinking more than a few glasses of wine and ate lots of food.

Adam was Santa that morning - handing out the gifts. You might notice, we started the first thing in the morning gift opening tradition - my sister Amy came out with us and when Jackie and I woke her up - she came up stairs saying: "What time is it?? It is still dark out!" - oh, the life of a student...

Jackie (with lots of help from Adam) put together a wonderful photo album for me - it has pictures from the minute she was born to a few days before Christmas.

The front is engraved saying: "You're the best Mom ever I Love You Mommy ~ Jacqueline"

Reading books together. Amy gave Jackie a copy of the Robert Munch book "I Love You Forever". Funny things happen when you have a baby - suddenly I can't read it without crying, if you have not read the book it is a great one.

Grandma Hill and Grandpa Eric gave Jackie her first baby grand piano, she is enjoying it a lot.
