Christmas Vacation 2015 is officially done! And it was one for the memory books...it was really our first christmas as a family of 9 and it was epic. Our original plans were not to be and instead we drove over 3000km this christmas from Alberta to BC and back to Alberta and then to Saskatchewan and back to Alberta. We saw many beloved people and even had a few firsts for our whole family - like spending Christmas morning with friends. It was awesome. Thank you to our amazing friends for opening your home to us at Christmas last minute...we love you guys. And I was worried about how all of this would affect our three newest - we had our moments but overall they did remarkable. Gave me a little confidence for our sumer road tripping plans:) Anyways...Merry Christmas & Happy New Year from our family to yours!! What follows is a "few pics" of our Christmas adventure....enjoy:)
