Well we've had a busy visit at home so far and today, Christmas day is the first chance I've had to sit down and catch up! After a long overnight journey, I made it to Vancouver on the 16th! I had a few days to visit with friends and family before Carl took his even longer journey home on the 21st! We booked our flights without prior knowledge on how and when to get to the airports. Luckily for me, getting to Toronto via bus at the perfect time, worked out. As for Carl, the best we could do was book a bus to Ottawa with him arriving at 4pm....And his flight not leaving until 7am the next morning! After getting a few hours sleep in the airport, his flight finally took off...And landed in Calgary where he had a few hours to kill in another airport before his final flight to Abbotsford! He arrived a little tired and exhausted but happy to be home! Since then like I mentioned, it's been busy! We had the Balback family Christmas dinner on the 23rd....
Dad, cutting the turkey!
Mom, making the gravy (on top of everything else!)
Visiting with the family
Grandma and brother
You know these people!
Brothers, David and Daniel, Dad and Uncle Larry
Me and my Uncle Dave
My brothers and their significant others, along with my uncle, myself and Carl spent the night at my parents and had Santa come a day early! We had breakfast and exchanged gifts in the morning!
The siblings have since left and my parents are headed up to Manning Park to visit with my younger brother, leaving Carl and I with a few hours to relax before heading to Carl's Oma and Opa's for our next family visit!
Overall, we are loving being home and are looking forward to more visits with family and friends!
We hope that you to, are having a very Merry Christmas and have the opportunity to reflect on the true meaning of today!
