Downtown festivities after Canada won the shoot out against the Swiss. Characters on EVERY corner: Abominable snowmen, Batman, rappers with a message and random high fives and screams from strongers on the streets.

Line ups, line ups, line ups EVERYWHERE. This was the bus line up on Broadway and Cambie.

What's been goin' down in January..

Mid January Zoe and Sarah came to visit (Jamie's sister and her daughter/our niece). We had a very fun day with Zoe. We took her to the Aquariam, ate jam sandwiches and applesauce and drank juice boxes......

Some belly shots taken @ 7 and 1/2 months

One Saturday morning, Jamie and I decided to see the new and updated Woodwards building and the architecture exhibit.

Here's the giant photo montage by Stan Douglas. The scene takes place in gas town.

December update

Jamie and I have mostly been on the road for the past 10 days, visiting family in Burns Lake and in Penticton.

Pre-Christmas we had a few special gatherings. Here are are some pics from the brunch at Glyness' new condo. I found out just a few days ago that Ashley is ALSO expecting a baby shortly after ours is born!

This picture is taken just before Will and Dave's ugly Christmas Sweater Party--hopefully this becomes an annual tradition!

We drove for about 9-10 hours to visit Terry and Amanda (in Vanderhoof) and the Graham clan in Burns Lake. We also got to visit some good friends in BL as well. Lindy and Nathan are expecting a baby in February!! T and A are due in May. Lot's of babies!!!

Burns Lake was a lot colder than we are used to. It was about -26. Cold enough for me!!! My hair froze!!

Then the 11 hour journey to Penticton on December 24th. Unfortunately on our travels I encountered some morning sickness and I popped the blood vessels in both of my eyes.

It was a lovely Christmas--we were all home and we celebrated our Christmas on Boxing Day, since Keegan and Rachel both worked on Christmas Day.

Oliver, Rachel and Kris' dog was the centre of attention....he's so cute!

New Years Eve: Murder Mystery Party at our place

We had Karen, Hilary and Adrian (they JUST got back from Australia) and Lydia and Nathan over for a cozy gathering. Jamie and I adapted our own version of Mafia and we played it all night.

Our life lately

We had a fun and scandalous night with Erika on the night of her stagette party. We played truth or dare, wandered the streets of Granville and Robson, danced all night, ordered pizza at 2 am......it was fun! We even dressed Erika up into the "perfect" bride.

We've been to the island twice in the last few months top visit Sarah, John, Levi and Zoe. We are such a good auntie and uncle to these tots!!! On both trips we experienced the slow pace that life offers when you take 2 kids under the age of 3 for a walk. Zoe was ONLY interested in picking flowers.

Healthy eating lately with lot's of colours on our plate. I've been experimenting with new recipes and eating vegetables I haven't eaten too much before like squash, turnips, sweet potatoes ect. Notice the pickle? This is a staple in our house right now!
