Merry Christmas!

Samuel had a wonderful first Christmas in Nanaimo. He peacefully slept in Grandma's arms at church on Christmas Eve, enjoyed opening presents (and trying to eat wrapping paper) at Grandma and Grandpa's on Christmas morning, and loved watching his cousins Emma and Max play with their new toys. We also had a delicious Boxing Day feast in Sooke at Auntie Joan & Uncle Rick's house. Samuel loved the many cuddles he had there with his aunties, uncles, and great-grandparents.

Opening gifts is so much fun!

Samuel's first day of skiing

We went up to Manning Park on December 19th for our first day of fun in the snow this season. They had tons of snow and we passed nobody on the trails. Sam had lots of fun, especially in cabin.
