Well let me just start by saying we hope you had a very Merry Christmas! We had a great Christmas season! Since we were all so very sick last year at Christmas, it made me appreciate being healthy this year! We started celebrating Christmas back in November with Christmas parties and during the month of December, had something going on every weekend. It was actually very nice how all the family events ended up being spread out and on different days. In early December I won VIP tickets from work for the Santa Claus Parade in Vancouver! We got seated on bleachers and were served snacks and hot chocolate as we waited for Santa's arrival.
Grandma and Grandpa Funk got Hannah and her cousin Avery matching shirts for Christmas! At the Rempel family Christmas it was fun to see them interacting with one another!
Hannah also spent time with her second cousin Elizabeth, at the Balback family gathering!
We spent Christmas Eve at my parents house and opened presents there on Christmas morning! Hannah got a little spoiled! Although she wasn't too interested in opening the presents, she likes playing with them!
But her favorite toy is still my cell phone!
And although she gets to see my parents 3 dogs every week, her favorite dog is my brothers Golden Retriever, Poppy. Poppy gets lot's of love from Hannah!
Here is Hannah eyeing up the Christmas goodies!
We had a lot of late nights and our routine was thrown off for a few nights but Hannah did really well! She's sleeping great, even though she's cutting 3 molar's. She's started saying bye-bye and waving, blowing kisses and loves to "find her belly button". She is starting to stand on her own so we don't think it will be long before she is walking!
One Christmas gift that we received this year was finding out the gender of our new baby! I found out before Carl, so I bought a few gender specific outfits and gave them to Carl as a Christmas gift on Christmas eve! Here is our little boy!
So last night we packed up our Christmas decorations (had to make room for all of Hannah's new toys) and are now in packing mode! We head off to Australia on Monday with Carl's family! We are really looking forward to spending time with his family...The 15 hour plane ride with Hannah, not so much! Prayers for sleep, safety, health and fun are appreciated :)
Wishing everyone many blessing in 2014!
