Niagara-On-The-Lake

It was our annual trip to NOTL where we pick out our decoration for the year. The day started with the boys at hockey practice and then we met up at the truck stop with Steve, Sherry and baby Sarah; Natalie, Fe and birthday girl Brooklyn; Anne and Adams.

The kids each picked up a Webkin (Brooklyn a Reindeer-even though we all kept calling it a moose, Curtis got Climber the Koala Bear and Spencer got Coco the dog). They were valuable additions to our troop this year!

After we got all full up it was a convoy to the Christmas Store where we met up with Nancy and her mom, Jane. We all took our time finding just the right ornament.
Spencer chose a hockey playing beaver (symbolizing his year of hockey and being in Beavers), Curtis picked a guitar (for him to remember this is the year he got his guitar), and Mom & Dad picked 4 Christmas frogs on a lilly pad (for recognition that this certainly seemed like the year of frogging). We got our names and the year put on our decoration and they will be proudly displayed as soon as the tree goes up!



Then the kids led the way to all of our favourite stops...
...which included shopping for cool (and very cheap) glasses...
(yes, it was a dare)

Can you tell Curtis insisted on dressing himself this morning?!

After a very full afternoon of shopping we were off to the Spaceship for dinner & then home to bed. What a great day it was to see all of our friends we haven't seen in so long. Thanks for making this year an extra special one!
