Our Christmas tree and some x-mas decorations
So I am in a really really good mood today :) I am sooooo happy that Jason just finished his last exam (last night) for his master's degree and he just passed his statistics waiver exam (Mon night) to test out of a class for his upcoming MBA program which starts in 3 weeks. It will be REALLY NICE having a husband for the Christmas break. I am also glad that Jason will have a stress free break, which is much deserved.
This Christmas our family is planning to visit Canada and spend some time with my family. Coming from a big family, 9 kids, we don't often get the chance to visit with my siblings due to distance (our family is spread out over Canada and the USA). We were lucky to have some of my family visit us for a few days during the Thanksgiving break, my parents, my sister Jane-Claire and her husband Brian, as well as their kids. Tristen loved playing with her cousins Emmerson and McKinnley. She kept on asking about them several days after they left. So we are really looking forward to seeing and spending some time with family over the holidays. It is also going to be a fun Christmas this year due to the fact that Tristen will understand it a bit more. Yes, she might not entirely get the whole Santa Claus concept, but she totally understands the PRESENT concept!!!! We are also glad that Blake will be celebrating his first Christmas with us this year. I think he was the best gift our family received this year. I can't tell you how much we think about how much we lucked out with his sweet little personality. Blake is such an EASY GOING baby, and even if his little personality changes, we consider ourselves very lucky to have enjoyed his sweet demeanor this long. I still can't believe that he will be 6 months old on the 20th of this month. Time flys ... I'm totally getting it, that's why we are trying to enjoy our family time as much as possible. Speaking of family time, we are planning our 3rd annual Winter Wonderfest trip in Chicago this Saturday. It is so much fun and this year we might have friends come along with us. Well this is a long post, we have a lot going on this month so all going well I will have a lot to blog about. Below are a few pics from Thanksgiving, pics of Tristen and her cousins at Bounce Town.
