(The Richard family. Jaymee is almost 7 and Jordyn is 4)
(Back again to Tiger Kingdom ~ this time itty bitty 4 week old kitties were roaming around. They were soooo cute. It was tempting to sneak one of them in my bag to take home …haha)
(Em with her little buddy she made. 4 weeks and this little one is getting big)
(Easton had a little guy crawl right up to him and lay in his lap…ahhhh)
(the big boys melting over a little kitty. Trent and Rob have been mates since their first year of University, a long long time ago..haha)
(off to the snake show, East had two slithering creatures around his neck getting all tangled up)
(Tori has a fear of snakes so she sat as far as possible gathering moral support from the girls)
(why be afraid when a 5 year old plays with live snakes like we would rubber ones)
(East should have a job here. He walks in grabs a snake and shows how harmless they are. The girls were pretty scared at first but then warmed up to the slithering creatures since East was holding them)
(Gingerbread House decorating in the tropics ~( just does not have the same ring to it). I was fortunate enough to find a lady who put together ginger kits which were fantastic. We had a lot of fun decorating while listening to Christmas music to put us into the spirit of the season)
(Easton’s creation ~ love your roof top snowmen)
(Ev’s final project, great job all by himself)
(Em’s masterpiece. Beautiful)
(2010 Ginger houses!)
(Rob and Trent getting tortured during their 2 hour Thai massage. These woman were extremely strong and made these grown men squeal like babies 🙂
(Chiang Dao caves are always interesting and very very dark)
(the boys were trying to represent something here,.,haha
(the cave dwellers)
(I need this sign in my house some days lol 🙂
(we set off lanterns for everyone, this time with sparklers attached to light up the sky. It was magical)
(we are all getting ready for the big fireworks show. Love the that the corner stores sell a huge range of different options to create a spectacle in the sky)
(Christmas Eve we sat around singing Christmas Carols and reading some fun stories. Then off to bed so Santa could come)
(the kids excited about their Christmas jammies they get to open every Christmas Eve ~ Thanks Mom for sending them)
(Santa was so good to the kids this year. All the kids got bikes that they wanted so much. Ev was so cute, he prayed for a bike earlier in the week and said “Please God, I hope Santa brings me a bike, I will even take a pink one if I have to, just really really want a bike.” Also true to Santa style, a stuffy was left to escort the bikes in wearing new helmets for Em. East and Ev)
(Everett was a bit excited about his special delivery of Star Wars lego ~ thanks secret Santa)
(isn’t technology great? It was like we were experiencing the madness together, my Mom and sister were on the other end watching (when it worked) and listening to the fun at our house. We switched roles when it was Christmas morning in Canada and we were ready to call it a night here)
(ahhh if this moment could just last all the time 🙂
(this was such an AWESOME day.
(the stealth hunters searched for hermit crabs who became temperary pets named; Barbie, Hannah Montana, Sport, and Hermie for the afternoon, before releasing them and starting the whole catch and release game again the following days. One little crab lunged out and it was pretty funny to see Trent jump so fast)
Kho Lak – Phuket, Thailand 2011. New Years was brought in with a big bang. The fireworks display was amazing over the ocean, our hotel building shook from all the BIG BANGS)
(midnight is so late so we had our own little party in our room a bit before the hour hand struck 12. Party on kids 🙂
(the morning after effects of staying up to late)
