Christmas in Canada

We ended up going to Canada for Christmas this year and had a BLAST, the car ride was very, very, very, LONG, but it was totally worth it. We stayed in Canada for a week and then came back for my brother Tom's wedding or we would still be up there. The trip ended up being 3000 miles around trip, and for the most part our kids were Awesome in the car!! Thank goodness :) On Christmas Eve my Mother-in-law had set up for Santa to come and see the grandkids. So after dinner we were pretending to get ready to do their traditional Christmas Pagent, and low and behold Santa comes to the door. He was all dressed up in his suit and had his bag filled with toys to give to each one of the grandkids. It was so much fun to watch Kimmi and Levi seeing Santa and sitting on his lap. Kimmi turns to me and says, "Mother Santa Claus is here!" After Santa Left we got together, and I read the Christmas story out of the Bible, we sang songs about Christ and the rest of the family acted out the story while I read. I'm truely thankful for this Christmas season and the time that we had to spend Christmas with family and friends. We really had a Great Christmas! Glen was a sheperd, Levi was a sheep, Kimmi ws an angel, and I was the narriator Shem was Joshep, Rielly was Mary, and Ryna was the donkey. Ah... to Fun!! Two little angels! :) Opening gifts from Santa, he got a truck...rvvvooommm! Kimmi got a Dolly and ended up naming her Bluey.. Thanks Santa!
