So this past Sunday we celebrated Christmas with John's family. I know it is kind of early but John's sister and her family are going to hawaii right over Christmas til January sometime and so this seem to be the only weekend that worked. Next weekend is john's brothers wedding receptions so we were very limited on days! The girls or should i say Janae enjoyed opening her presents as well as Camryn's. This year we decided us adults were not buying anyone gifts we all just bought for the nieces and a small gift for the parents. It was nice cause it was pretty pricey the years before. John's mom attempted to do a gift exchange game with gifts she had purchased but it wasn't much of a game as there was nothing you wanted to steal!!hehe, we all agreed we would do it again next year but we would each bring a gift!! Janae and Camryn got a few toys, books and each a couple shirts and outfits. the adults all got money!! So here are some pictures from the gathering.
Today we headed out to the Minter Garden Country Garden train. It is in Chilliwack on Young Road and is about twenty minute drive from Sumas Exit. It was super cold out but the girls were very well bundled and way more bundled then any other kids that i saw. The train was a miniture train that you stradle Camryn refused to sit still so john decided he woulnd't go on the ride and just walked around the garden with her. It is 3 bucks to walk around, and five bucks to ride this mini train or ride on a carriage pulled by a tractor. Janae loved it. THe ride isnt very long, we were there for about 45 min and then realized we had no formula and figured we should book it home before camryn freaks out. It was a great evening and here are some pictures. THe jacket Camryn is wearing I bought today a please mom and I bought it big so that it could maybe fit her next year but i think i have to bring it back cause it just doens't work now being that big and it was pretty pricey. Oh well i was desperate for a jacket today, tomorrow i will head back out looking for a good jacket for her.

This Sunday is our church's Christmas service. in the morning the little kids are singing and then i have made up a bunch of Christmas crafts for them to make during the service, i am super excited about this and hope that i will not be disappointed as i know that a lot of times you get pumped up about something and then it just doesn't meet up to your standard and i am hoping that is not the case! I am going to post some pics so i am done writing. If i dont' post before Christmas i want to wish all my readers a very merry christmas

Yay for family gatherings already! Those are always so much fun.
Glad that Janae had fun no the train, too bad Camryn wouldn't ride on it. I really want to take Kyra either to the Vancouver Zoo train or the Stanley Park, Bright Nights train. She is loving Christmas lights this year and I know would have a blast.
Hope all goes well with your Christmas program on Sunday!
Good luck with the program!!
