Our vacation at home

What an amazing "vacation" we had at...home? The five weeks we spent with family and friends was something Shawn and I have never experienced before. As many of you know, the holidays are rushed and time spent with family & friends is short. In the past, 2 days would be all that we had to rush from one family dinner to another, and as much as we enjoyed all the food in a short time, we always felt we couldn't give the time everyone deserved. So these past 5 weeks (although still short and we still couldn't fit everyone in) was amazing! Thanks mom/Minke for allowing us to share your warm home and comfy spare bed with us:)
Here is a photo diary of some of the highlights but we can't go without mentioning some of these highlights first!
1) Our new niece was born Dec 31st just 3 hrs shy of midnight. Mia is the first baby for the family so we were all pretty pumped for her arrival. She is beautiful and healthy-we love you Mia!
2) Spending time with all the nieces and nephews (esp Monster Trucks!!!) was amazing! A truly  unforgettable experience.
3) Spending time with Arla - our best friend. We miss you already but know you are in good hands with grandma, grandpa and Uncle Clifford;)
