Yes it is winter solstice. A day Yukoners celebrate. The shortest day ... longest night of the year. We celebrate it because starting tomorrow, each and every day gets longer and longer and each and every night gets shorter and shorter. Yeah!!!!
And this year we celebrated Christmas on this very day. SR and family are travelling south to Vancouver to celebrate Christmas with Brooke's family and will depart tomorrow morning bright and early. So December 21st is Christmas.
Thanks to Brooke for taking some photos. I seemed to be busy either opening presents, holding babies (as seen above, sometimes both at the same time), cooking dinner and a number of other things it seems.
This is the only photo of Brooke. You can see her nice necklace - a teething necklace for babies. And they used it too. Emerson's first tooth broke through yesterday. His second one isn't too far behind. And Alanna's were soon to come too.
Alanna was very excited when opening gifts. Her little legs were bouncing (look at her tights - they are ballet shoes on the bottoms - so cute) and she was grabbing all the paper and bows and immediately eating them. Who cares what was in the box.
So, this is my first Christmas with the grand kids. They looked so cute, Alanna wearing a knit dress and Emerson in his skinny jeans and plaid shirt. And Lily and curious little Timber were with us as well. It was great being with a houseful for our celebration.
