But apparently I did, so I apologize if you’re sick of hearing about Christmas especially now that we’re in the second week of January, but I can’t help and share this next part because it was my absolute favourite part. And it had everything to do with these people; my family.
It’s true. No matter what it is that we do during the holidays, whether it’s visiting, watching movies, playing games, or simply just sitting on the couch for days on end, it’s always my favourite part. FYI- having two weeks off from work comes in at a very, very, close second place.
We also played pass the baby a lot, but that was something that I never wanted to take a break from. I could have snuggled with this little guy forever. If babies are as quiet and peaceful as this little one, well then hand one over to me, please. I’d prefer to skip right over the whole ‘birth’ part…yikes!
My mom and my sister and I took part in some nail pampering on New Year’s Eve, which was the first time us girls have ever done that together. I vote that this be a yearly tradition! Or, better yet, a ‘whenever we see each other’ tradition.
My sister and brother-in-law, the optometrists, hooked Todd and I up with some eye exams and some new glasses, which was desperately needed since I was still sporting my six year old ones. It certainly pays to have connections!! I have a best friend who is a dentist, so if I only knew someone who was a dermatologist and a personal trainer, I’d be all set. Soooo, who wants to be my friend? 🙂
Our traditional poker game took place (twice, actually) and just like every other year, I was one of the first to get out. Apparently they can “see right through me”. Pfffft! Well, I now have a full year to perfect my poker face, although I have no idea where to even begin with that. Again, who wants to be my friend? Anyone?
Oh, and we also spent the day at the newly opened Toronto Aquarium where I may or may not have met another blogger while we were there.
Buttttt I’m going to be sneaky and leave you hanging for another day to hear all about that. So check back soon!
You had to share part 2 of Christmas! It was precious! Looks like such a fun time 🙂
gah! i LIVE in toronto and haven't even been to the aquarium yet!

You met another blogger there?! What! Jealous! Where was I?
I actually have a ticket to the aquarium and still haven't used it! I hear it's super busy on weekends and I don't like crowds.
I love your scarf! So pretty!
I can't agree more with this! When I was home for Christmas it was during the (first) awful ice storm so we were basically stuck inside and I couldn't have been happier about it! Also too cute– one of my nephews was all about everything Thomas this year as well!
And your hair always looks so perfect! I don't get how it's even possible!!
I'm alllll about the nail pampering!
It looks like you had so much fun! It's always nice to just chill with family. Those are always the best moments for me.
The nails look great! So much baby cuteness!! The Poker thing remind me of the scene from How to Lose a Guy and the mother says she always loses because she is too kind of heart!
awww baby snuggles! 🙂
love that scarf also.
