Christmas 2011

 We had a little birthday celebration for Mike when he got home.  One of his presents was a whole bunch of his ties that I narrowed for him.  He was happy.
We went downtown Vancouver Thursday afternoon.  We stopped first at the Vancouver library. (below)
 Then we headed to the outdoor German Christmas Market.  It was fun but not as big as I expected.


 Fun little shops to visit.  We recognized so much from Germany but the prices were higher.


 Our  'free' photo with Santa.
 Then out to dinner at Cactus Club.  

 Christmas Morning excitement is always the same even if there are fewer people and presents.

 Here's Mike reenacting last Christmas.
In all of our stockings were these cool knives that are really real and sharp.
 Amy and Chris's wedding album

 A German Nutcracker Christmas!

 A coconut for Christmas??  Cool box, and cool present inside.
 So fun to get this with all the pictures of our Grandkids!!  Love it.
 Mike's Go-Pro.
 Brian with his stuff!
Christmas Eve dinner with some invited  friends.  Elder and Sister Healey, and the Hatch family.  Catherine is one of our YSA who joined the church this past year, here with her Dad and sister.
