December was super busy in my head but not so much with actual things. Since Nolan and I were leaving mid-month, there was a long list of things to do before leaving for 4, yes 4 weeks! We managed to take our Christmas photo just in time to order the cards so i could take them with. We also took in the Abbotsford Christmas tree lighting for the first time (i think). Since we are just a short walk from old downtown it was a perfect Sunday afternoon activity. We drove around to look at Abbotsford home Christmas lights. We always love a good drive. I raked the yard one last time and looking at the photo makes me really miss December since as i am writing this we have a good few inches of snow on the ground. I'd rather rake than shovel, lol
The third week of December brought us full throttle into Christmas. Grant and I went on a Christmas date that consisted of dinner out and a late night movie. When Grant surprised me with this outing, i was almost more excited that he had already lined up the babysitter, than actually going out, lol. Oh, i love you honey!
We did our Christmas with Nolan shortly before taking off for Toba. We kept it small, since he has so many toys already and we knew he would be getting more. Our original plan was to get a play room ready for him downstairs but we are a little behind in that project. Maybe for his second birthday?
