Merry Christmas - Round II

On Saturday we packed up a bit of the apartment into boxes and also packed our bags for California.



Again, thanks to Justin's awesome boss, we were able to take our time driving to San Jose and had time to stop in Vancouver to spend some time with the Thompsons for Christmas, round II.



Beautiful Christmas tree at Grandma Brink's.



Grandparents Paula & Bob Thompson with Grandma Grace Brink.

After a scrumptious dinner at Applebees (a treat from Grandma Grace), we headed back to the Brink's house for dessert and presents. It was truly a blessing to be able to see family before we continued our drive to San Jose.

Lee and me.


Paula, Grace and Karen opening their gifts from us - our wedding portrait.

Curtis was pretty tuckered out by the end of the holiday, having been trapped inside for days due to the snow storm. It took 2 coffees to get him going again ;) after shoveling Grandma Grace's driveway and walk!


On Sunday we hit up the mall, got the oil changed in the Tribute and had a fun, late lunch at Ruby Tuesdays (a treat from Grandparents Paula and Bob). It was a great send off, complete with hugs and well-wishes all around.

We hope to see everyone again very soon!

I like that scarf you are sporting in the Christmas Round II pics - wherever did you get it? ;-)

I sport that bad boy all the time - and get heaps of compliments! I got it at a great boutique called La Chyterbok de Maggie!
