Our holidays were insanely busy.\u00a0 Make that, we were insanely busy relaxing.\u00a0 We weren’t checking email.\u00a0 We weren’t online banking.\u00a0 We weren’t checking voicemails.\u00a0 We had a wonderful, beautiful holiday in Ontario, Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia doing nothing but visiting, catching up, and, obviously, driving.<\/p>\n

Yup, that’s right.\u00a0 Every 3 years we have what we call our ‘4 Province Christmas’.\u00a0 I have to admit, it’s my fave.\u00a0 We get to spend time with my side of the family before we leave, but then we end up seeing most, if not all, of Dan’s side when we fly out west.\u00a0 Dan is trying to convince me that we should call this one a 5 Province Christmas because we had a stop-over in Winnipeg, but I don’t think 2 hours in Manitoba counts…Or maybe it does…<\/p>\n

I plan to post about some of our favourite holiday moments, but couldn’t resist posting one of my new most favourite pictures of the bean while I gather thoughts and pictures to try to do this special trip justice.<\/p>\n

This was taken at about 7:00 am on December 31 – New Year’s Eve and Jaia’s birthday.\u00a0 Our family tradition (now that she’s old enough to be able to enjoy it) is to wake up the birthday girl (or boy) with a piece of cake with a lit candle in it.\u00a0\u00a0 This year we spent Jaia’s birthday in a variety of hotels, so trying to track down cake and a candle at the last minute was tricky.\u00a0 We settled on a birthday brownie from Grandma.<\/p>\n

I love the messy hair and the expression.\u00a0 I think chocolate cake (or brownies) first thing in the morning is the best way to start\u00a0any day.\u00a0 I’d say Jaia agrees.<\/p>\n
