BC 1

We've been in British Columbia now for just over a week. So far, it's been great. Hanging out with my family has been absolutely wonderful. I love being with them so much, and it is so beautiful here which is just a bonus. The house my parents live in is extremely nice as far as Army houses go. There's a great wood burning stove in the family room, and a view of a gorgeous forest from the back windows. The house is at the top of a hill so looking out over the neighbourhood it's like we're king of the houses.

G was great traveling here. She had a bit of a tantrum on the plane, but we dealt with it pretty well I'd say, and the other passengers didn't seem too peeved. The weather hasn't been great since getting here, but at least it's not -30! On Friday we go to my Aunt's house to pick up another Aunt and her husband so that they can come stay here. My grandparents will be there too which is awesome. I love them and miss them all so much!

Since getting here, G has been sleeping all night long every night which is phenomenal. She's doing at least 10 hours a night. The air here agrees with her so much better than back in MJ. She isn't snuffly anymore and has a more fitful rest. Unfortunately she refuses to nap much in the day because she's such a curious little button, but we make do. There's lots of people to help out so it isn't too stressful. Most of the time. As I'm typing this she's laying on the floor whining her face off even though B is playing with her. Just a cranky baby I guess.

Updates will not be frequent here, as I just honestly want to chill and watch TV most of the time. We don't have cable back at home so I'm watching the crap out of HGTV, Food, Slice and TLC. Plus there's my dad's Clint Eastwood box set to get through, in addition to Live Aid and 6 seasons of ER.

I likely won't post again until after Christmas, so I wish any readers the happiest of Christmases! I hope this holiday season is wonderful for everyone, no matter how you are spending your time whether or not it's with family or if you're on your own or if you're celebrating on Christmas Day or a different one! It's a wonderful, wonderful season and I'm so thankful that I get to spend it with so many of my loved ones this year...and I'm REALLY excited to be celebrating G's very first Christmas! It's going to be magical!
