Victoria Day Traditions

I think this place is where we laugh the most. Between the kids and the adults, an eruption of that good medicine can take place every few minutes. It's why we kept the family tradition going after it started to dwindle over the years. We love being together, and like a sparkler ignites and suddenly bursts into a thrilling but short period of fun, we come and play as families, loving every minute before we must carry tired ones to bed.

It's The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year...

Hangin' at home and continuing blessed traditions from childhood and making a few new ones...
licking the beaters...
wearing my apron Meg made me...

making cheesecake for the first time...

hushed, secret gift-wrapping time...

bellowing through the wrapping paper tubes...

brown paper packages, tied up with strings...
"no peeking!"

some lucky person is going to get Oliver's mini-van :)

knitting, just like Great-Mama taught us...
creating books of the Christmas story (idea from here)...
(no room at the inn)
(im)patiently waiting for the glue...

painting Christmas scenes on the windows...
keeping the mint hot chocolate and marshmallows on hand...
diving into the cookie jar filled with goodies from our sweet neighbour...
relishing in the details that make the holiday perfect...
playing with the nativity scene...
O Come Let Us Adore Him!
