Christmas Day 2021

Wake up to tons of snow! For Victoria! We are after all, here for a mild winter!

Worth it for Megan’s amazing turkey. She has a way with 🦃though I’m not sure they would agree. Kyle’s least favourite turkey time is taking it out of the pan. He did do it successfully! Note his new Christmas t-shirt…

Delicious dinner!! Megan makes the best turkey!

Spent the day just hanging out playing games. 🃏🃏🃏

More snow! Happy we didn’t want to go home tomorrow.

Open Gifts – 2021

But first, Kyle’s marvelously delicious drink. Some gin concoction with raspberries.

Christmas cookies made by…… not me this year

Dinner, we kind of forgot to preplan…. after many Skip the Dishes attempts Indian food for the win!! Finally, present time!

Not going to bore you all with the tons of opening gifts photos! Just a few 🙂 You are welcome!!

This was a super fun Christmas!!

December 19, 2021 – Challenge accepted!

The town of Nanaimo is hosting a Frosty Bucket challenge. Of course, we’re in!! Allan solved 11 of the clues, the one that eluded him was clue #7. Me to the rescue!

Wake up to snow, hopefully Nanaimo has less

We found all the clues in 2 days. Some of the hilights and what the QR codes look like.

And the 12 words are…

Submitted and received back this email….

“Well done Mary-Ann,  I’m glad you had fun playing our competition.  Your name will go in for our draw for our Gift Pack – unfortunately our Activate New Years Day event has been cancelled but follow our facebook for updates on other challenges we are going to offer instead.”

It was fun and we visited parks we otherwise would not have known about.

Dec 12th

Go home day but will this weather ever co-operate. The Malahat Summit is challenging this time of year. Google maps drive time is 3h, should take 1.15m. Do we go or do we stay? While attempting to decide Kyle & Megan hook us up to VR, a first for us. It was fun but i’d rather just live in reality! Allan played the sit down, driving game a bit too long and became queasy.

Google now says 1.39m. Off we go..

It goes from this

to

and we’re stopped…

Made it home safely, fire time!

Love our new wall art…
