Christmas in Norwich

After we had been to visit Grandma, we headed to Norwich to spend the afternoon there. What mom and dad didn't know was that Scott (my husband) was not actually working but driving to the airport to pick up Pamela who had flown home to spend a few short days with us over the holidays.

Logan playing the piano. Usually the piano is closed up but Logan was very gentle and loved playing. We eventually did close it though.

Jacob is starting to really grab at and play with his toys. Here he is on the couch at grandma and grandpa's house.

Playing with his monkey - one of his favourite toys right now.

Scott and Pamela arrived as we were eating dinner. Mom and dad were so surprised! We all finished dinner and headed out to church as a family; it's been several years since we all went to church together on Christmas Eve.

Since Pamela was only staying until Boxing Day, we decided to spend the night at mom and dad's so we could spend some more time with her.

Logan awoke very early on Christmas morning (I think it was 5:45am!) and then we all assembled in the living room around 7am to open gifts together. We didn't bring all of our presents with us, we decided to do "our" Christmas when we were home on Boxing Day.

Pamela totally excited to have a stocking even though mom had already sent her one in the mail and had no idea she was coming home!

Logan watching Uncle Scott go through his stocking.

Mom totally confused by her gift...she had no idea what it was.

Jacob woke up around 8am and joined in on the fun.

Christmas morning tradition - cinnamon buns!

My parents and Pamela and Scott headed off to London to spend the day with my dad's family. We hung out at their place for a bit and then travelled to New Hamburg to spend the rest of the day with Scott's family (where I took no pictures).

It was so fun to be in Norwich and to have Pamela home to celebrate with!
