... and sparkly too!

Yesterday afternoon we arrived safely in the GTA (greater Toronto area) after a 4:30am departure and a steady twelve hours on the road (no, we didn't hike, these photos are from last weekend's hike).

We're happy to be here for our ten day Christmas holiday with both our families. First Damien's and then mine. It just so happens my brother and one of Damien's brothers live one hour away from each other even though we all grew up in Alberta, Canada - how cool is that.


I have already lost track of what day it is as we shift into vacation mode and get ready for our Christmas Eve celebrations (in both our families gifts are exchanged on Christmas Eve).


These days are indeed merry and bright and we are so blessed to have this time with family, whom we don't see often enough.


A very Merry Christmas to you (if you celebrate) and if not Happy Winter and end of 2010.
Love, Renee
