We spent Christmas 2018 on Vancouver Island with grandma and grandpa Shivas. On Christmas morning, Eileen was teething or didn’t feel well, she was inconsolable. About an hour after we administered Tylenol she perked up. The twins opened presents on December 19 and 24. So by December 25 they figured out colourful paper meant something fun inside!
On Christmas morning we said ‘let’s open our stockings’ and Ewan came running over and pointed up at the stockings hanging above the fire place, it was adorable and incredible he knew what we were talking about.
We had Christmas dinner at Aunt Liz and Uncle Dave’s house- 18 people! Great food and wine!!
We visited Woodland Gardens while we were there, the ground was saturated from many days of heavy rain. Ewan has a blast running in the lucky grass. Eileen wasn’t in to it!
The Watt, Douglas and Maclean parents got together on December 23 for wine, beer and food. It was great to connect with my cousins and their husbands.
It was a very nice and relaxing visit/holiday. Grandma Shivas took excellent care of us, to make sure we could relax. Unfortunately, Grandpa Shivas had a touch of a stomach bug. We took advantage of WestJet Boxing Day sale and booked flight home for the summer- already looking forward to it! ??
It was great having everyone here for Christmas ? Looking forward to the next visit!!
