2010 Winter Olympics


I remember the day they announced the Olympics would be held here in Vancouver- I was 9 months pregnant with Delaney. Now 6 years later we are enjoying them. For months there has been a buzz about the city- mostly people complaining of the inconvenience. Now as the 2 weeks of the Olympics are upon us, I see nothing but Canada wear, I hear everyone commenting on how much fun downtown is and what a great spirit is in the air. I have never seen so much patriotism, everywhere you look are Canadian flags and people in Canada gear. What a great time for our city and what a lot of great Canadian pride we have.
I took the girls downtown on the Friday of the opening ceremonies-we really had a great time and got to see so much. We even got to see the medals at the Canadian mint. Before we know it will be over- i sure hope we can all hold on to that Patriotism for much longer than the 2 weeks of the game!

Christmas came and went....


We had a wonderful Christmas this year- although the older I get the faster they seem to come and go! We managed to squeeze in all the fun activities we could and still came out ahead of the game. My only problem was that I was wrapping on Dec 23rd and I would have liked to have been done by that time. But the day came- the girls had a great time and as usual were incredibly spoiled. So were the grownups though- it was a great year!
New Year's was a blast- we had a smaller group this year- but we had so much fun. The music was great and the dancing as fun as ever.
After New Year's I even managed to get some tidying in- got the bathroom cabinets done, the kitchen pantry done and filing is all almost up to date- I'd say a good start to the year so far!
