Christmas Time...

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!  Christian, Sam and I had a wonderful Christmas in Ontario.  We had dinner Christmas Eve with his immediate family and then everyone came back over Christmas morning for breakfast and gift opening.  The kids all got spoilt rotten!  Christian and I didn't do gifts this year, our gift will be our trip home (which we started today!!!).  Later on Christmas day we went over to Christian's Aunt and Uncle's place for dinner.  Needless to say we ate way too much food and had a great time.  On Saturday we headed north to London to visit Grandpa Pease and got to meet some of Christian's cousin's kids, again a great time.  It was nice to have Christmas out in Ontario, we hadn't spent Christmas out east since 2003, much too long.

Here are a few pictures of Sam enjoying his first Christmas.

Portraits

Okay, so this post will consist mostly of pictures, wait a minute, most of my posts consist mostly of pictures.   Oh well, at least Sam is so darn cute that I am sure no one minds.  I am also having a little difficulty getting the captions and pictures in place so I apologize if it looks a little funny or doesn't make sense.

This is the portrait we did from Walmart.  I am really pleased with the way it turned out.  He is so photogenic. 

Last week we took Ruth, Louis and Sam to get their portraits taken.  Here are a few of the best shots.  Sam got a little beaten up by Ruth in the pictures with Nanny but other than that it went very smoothly.  They are proofs so please pardon the watermark on the pictures.

Nanny with her grandbabies!

Sam getting beaten up!

And again!

This is my favourite picture of Sam (from that day).  I think this is a keeper.

And of course more adorable shots!

The best group shot of the day!

I absolutely love these pictures of Ruth, she is such a little sweetheart!

Once Louis got a ball in his hand he was more than happy to sit on the sled and pose for the camera.
