Christmas in Canada Part 1

The morning after we arrived in Canada my kids wanted to go right outside and play in the snow, so off they went. I think they played outside almost everyday. I on the other hand decided to stay inside with Kami and Caymbree.
We had so much fun being with family during the holidays. The kids loved playing with their cousins and being around the aunts and uncles.
Christmas Eve day was spent at Grandma Sefcik's house making gingerbread houses, playing the 7/11 game and eating soup and sandwiches for lunch.
Christmas eve and day we were at Grandpa and Grandma Karren's house. We ate lots of yummy food and had a "Glee" version of the nativity- with Brett and i as Mary and Joseph. Next year it's Jodi and Scott's turn!!!! And we were entertained just watching Taylor, she is so fun.
