The past 2 weeks have been wonderful!!! We've had so much fun as a family together. And I've managed to get some cool pictures too.
Before Christmas we did some shopping and had two Christmas parties to go to. Christmas Day was nice, just the 8 of us in the morning then we went to friends' house for dinner in the evening. December 26th we had a small cook out with some of Mikaylie's friends before they all went off on various summer holidays. Yesterday we visited 3 beaches (don't ask) for pictures and fun. We all played a 4 on 4 soccer match on the beach and the girls had a splash in the sea. Today we when to White Cliffs for a 2 hour hike through pasture (uphill!), bush and along beach. The boys were FANTASTIC, making not one complaint. The girls, on the other hand, were less than enthusiastic and moaned and groaned until the trail started to go downhill. It WAS quite a climb but the views were gorgeous and the last leg on the beach was great! Couldn't wait to get the pics posted on the blog so I can "Pin" them on Pinterest. I'd been obsessing over family pics since all the kids were going to be here and I am pleased with what I've captured.
We have less than 24 hours left together as a family of eight and I'm trying to stay upbeat and not waste the rest in a funk. The funk will come...
