Christmas Vacation

Chris had to work over the holidays since he works in retail, so Helmut and i went to Canada ourselves. It was so much fun! I ended up staying 2 weeks with my entire family at my parents place. Helmut and I flew into Timmins thinking my sisters would greet us with balloons and cupcakes, but as always, my family was late. Helmut and I sat there hopelessly waiting and when everyone left, like in a romantic comedy, they came in. Oh, my family how i truly love you! We ended up watching lots of movies, played games, went on walks etc. I love every second that i get to send with my family. I was able to buy each one of my family members a present and they all really enjoyed it. It was nice to receive thoughtful gifts from my family as well. Us siblings all received a onesie and yes, we wore it the entire trip. I forgot how cold it gets up in the North, but i pretty much froze my butt off. We went for a walk at one time and i wore my dads Parka! I was able to meet up with my best friend Julia and her new squeeze Jeff. We ended playing Monopoly, went skating and went to a cafe. Overall, i had an amazing trip thanks to all my family and friends. I am thankful for a season that brings family together and allows us to be grateful for all the things we have. My goal this year is to be thankful everyday for all the many miracles i have in my life.
