Merry Christmas!!

Merry Christmas Nelsonites! I hope everyone has had tons of fun over the past week celebrating the holidays & spending time with your friends & families! 148377-Animated-Merry-Christmas-With-SantaIt’s been lots of fun with Kennedy during her 2nd Christmas. We started our break with a coffee date with Kennedy’s best friend and then an evening at the German Christmas Market in downtown Vancouver with her Oma. Our house is exploding with Christmas books and puzzles after a couple days hosting family. On Boxing Day, we explored the aquarium with some friends and were lucky to almost have the place to ourselves! Enjoy your 2nd week of winter holidays & I can’t wait to hear about all your celebrations in the New Year!
