Christmas in Errington (Part II)

My sister and her girls (Savvy/Savannah and Scarlett) just came from Nanaimo. Good, now we have excellent babysitters for the boys!


Winston and cousins Savvy and Scarlett on the couch.


Scarlett and Spencer get a ride from Savvy.


A (silence is) golden moment...all 4 kids quietly doing stuff together (nice poses, girls!).


Spencer with doll in stroller (doll is taller than he is!).

Aunt Gayle came over as well (just in time for dinner, she brought the corn pudding, too).


Aunt Gayle, Kate and Winston.


Winston checks out the turkey.


All 4 kids sitting still near the tree...ya, right.

Then came the opening of the presents...ya, this, I think, is Spencer's 5th present-opening ceremony. Spoiled kid! (I truncated the pics, there were sooo many.)


Aunt Gayle gets her Bombay Sapphire Gin (for some reason she has a knife too).


Savvy is quite impressed with her new towels.


Savvy alerts Spencer to the camera as he opens his Play-Doh set.


Dad gets a Ben Hogan golf towel and does his impression of Wilson off Home Improvement.

Spencer lost all interest in presents as soon as the Play-Doh was opened. Hahaha, now us adults can rest again!


Spencer, Savvy and Scarlett playing Play-Doh.


Sue gives Winston a ride.

The ride home the next day was also flawless. 20 minutes early for the ferry, a perfect 1 hour 35 minute ride and even got home in 43 minutes! No traffic! Try that in Seoul; impossible!


Almost home...Spencer checks out the (overcast and rainy) scenery.

Well, that's it. In a few days it's the REAL Christmas...and then I have no idea how Spencer will cope. Next year should be even crazier as Spencer will tune up Winston on the presents thing and they will likely be bouncing off each other at the mere mention of Santa. Yay!
