It's beginning to look a lot like ... Vancouver!

Hello West coast home!

All in all, and A class visit. Got to catch up with lots a friends, had a fantastic time with my family and 2 year old Mylene (my 2nd cousin who's tooooo cute!), my immediate family, who are so much more lovable than I remember them... what happened??? ;)

But I'll start from the top... Boy was it exhilirating to see the Rockies from the plane. Funny, you really miss their presence when you're gone. I was practically jumping up and down from my seat on the edge of the middle row of the plane. I think the people next to me thought I was seizuring! But they're beauties!

Back at the Williams' home, then Gingerbread bake-a-thon day! Though we didn't get as many cookies done as in the past, it was a great chance to catch up with buddies who I haven't seen in too long, and hear stories of those who are away. It was pretty cool..

Even Dad partook in the festivities!

And got to eat yummy sushi and even Dim Sum!!! Yum, yum! How I missed my ethnic foods while in Halifax. Did I mention on a previous post that I tried eating sushi here one night... They put hot sauce on the salmon sashimi????!!! To disguise the taste of atlantic farmed salmon...??? I don't want to know. So that was awesome!

Then Christmas, seeing aunts, uncles, cousins, grandparents, little ones, dogs, singing Santa Clauses and all! We all had a great time. I have my grandparents a carving from a fallen branch of the Halifax Commons, the public space of Halifax, as a spirit stick. My uncle said "a great hobby for a tree hugger". And yes, it is, thank you very much.. but I prefer "air snuggle" these days... :)

Then Silver Star!!! Yahoo! I don't remember a funner family holiday! It's about our 10th time going up and had a blast. Dad and I hit the cross country ski slopes (mastered the blacks, may I add... with a feather in the hat and a snowy bum!!!) and discovered a few uncharted trails (a yearly tradition in itself) while Mom and Bry relaxed and enjoyed themselves too! For as long as I remember, New Year's eve has consisted of celebrating Mom's new year's bday, so goodtimes all around with the fam!

So, a great 2007 Christmas! So good in fact, that it made me wonder why I was coming back to halifax... dum, dum, dummmmmmmm.

But that will have to wait for another blog, cause time for bed! :)
Night! :)
