This post will mainly be about photographs, We had a very special Christmas at Derek's parent's house, with his parents Rick and Janet, and with Derek's friend (and now ours) Tom & of course Derek & the dog Jofus.

Christmas eve the boys went snowboarding & skiing whilst Kari stayed indoors with Rick & Janet learning to play crib as she had the flu pretty bad and wanted to be better for Christmas day. Unfortunately on this day Tom had a fall and tore some ligaments off his shoulder & Derek 'landed' a large jump which caused some heel damage, so after a quick visit to the hospital followed by the pub they returned home.

Christmas day was an amazing feast of Turkey with a mince meat & breadcrumb stuffing :)
Also on Christmas day we built our snow people together :)On boxing day the men played together & built a catapault & kari & chris ran around trying to catch snow on thier tongues, we had a few snowball fights
we also got a wicked crib board for a Christmas present made by Rick - in amongst some other nice & practical gifts

We also had a few days at the slopes in Vernon called sunpeakes,

New years eve we spent alone together in a cabin surrounded by snow whilst our other friends were at a wedding and we had a lovely feast, watched a movie & went sledding on a blow up pool toy in the dark!!



We can't get rid of the weird boxes so deal with it & sorry we are sooooooo slack
