The Stay at Home Mother

I can't believe that Christmas is almost upon us. The whole month of December has been a complete blur. From the gift buying, to the card writing to the baking and tree decorating - it all has passed by so quickly.

I really want to thank all my loyal readers and supporters this Christmas as I feel truly blessed to be able to do what I do - and to be a stay at home mom to my children...

This week we went to Stanley Park to ride on the Christmas Train. It was raining and seemed like a really miserable day... but because we went during the week, and purchased tickets for the 4:30 train ride - it was actually pretty great.

There weren't any crowds, it was dark, and we were able to park right at the front entrance. And were able to walk right on to the train without any waiting around in line ups (as we have in the past)....yep....this year we finally learned how to do it right...

Today was a fantastic day - as I was able to catch up on my sleep last night (still don't have a voice) but feel stronger today for sure. And yesterday my husband sent me flowers to cheer me up...awwwww.....he's so thoughtful.

And this morning - we went to pick out a Christmas tree. That's one of my favourite parts of Christmas. We all pile in to the car and sing Christmas songs all the way to the Tree Yard, which is about twenty minutes away from us. Of course, after twenty minutes of driving, usually I'm the only one left singing in the car....
