Christmas in Rohan

We finally got to meet Avery today!

On our way to Fort Langley, we dropped by Carla and Josh's place.

The rumours are true, this is one cool baby!

And look who else we got to see, Tamara!  It's been way too long my dear.

When we finally arrived at Dr. Nick and Elizabeth's, Suzy Girl was there to greet us!

Scout and Suzy were a little distracted by all the cooking in the kitchen.

Woohoo, the Sisters-Z broke-out the Scrabble board!

Elizabeth had to feed the horses, so we asked her if we could come.

Uncle Bob offered an apple to Gary.

I gave one to Ashton.

They sure were hungry.

Ashton is the horse that Elizabeth rides.

Cutie pie!

Munch, munch, munch...

Someone else was looking for some attention too.

Fatty and Lila with Gary...

They're like big dogs.

Where did Lila go?

Here she is, on the other side of the gate.

Lila was a little scared of these two.

I was having the time of my life!

Hmmnnn, nice view from here.

I didn't want to leave.  :-(

Popa Fatt...

Back at the Kleiders, I met Nancy and Freddie.

Oh no, someone's not feeling too good.

And here it is, Dr. Nick's turkey!

Father and son moving the bird...

Freddie enjoyed a massage from his momma.

The table was set for us to dig-in.

Jessica and Nicholas...

The kids' table...

'Feast' is an understatement.

 Liz and Sara...

The Sisters-Z: Sara, Joy, and Elizabeth.

EdRocker: "How you feeling Suzy?"
Suzy: "I'm good, just tired from yesterday's hike."
EdRocker: "Hang in there, girl.  Take it easy for a couple days."
Suzy: "Okay, Uncle Ed."

Time to empty our Christmas stockings!

Our gracious host and hostess, Dr. Nick and Elizabeth...

Elizabeth's parents, Lynn and Brian...

Jessica and Joy checking-out all their goodies...

Poor Nicky, he wasn't feeling too well.

Look at all this stuff I got!

Each of us had a few puzzle pieces, so we dumped them all on to the table for the girls to solve it.

"Ah yeah!"

Joy and Liz...

Pretty much solved, just missing a couple pieces.  :-(

Sara with Alex's cute stocking...

Brian's had a heavy stocking,

but he's a strong man.

"What?!?  That's it?!?"  ;-)

Fatty ate all his chocolates?!?  LOL!

Nick and Liz...

Kimmie...

Scout...

Channelling Michael Jackson,

the Smooth Criminal.

"Ohhh!!!" 

Santa?!?

Sisters, Lynn and Nancy... 

Chillaxing...  It was time to call it a night.

Big thanks to Nick and Elizabeth for the wonderful feast!!!

Gratitude to Carla and Santa aka Josh for letting us sleep over!!!

The morning after, we had Pancakes & Ham!

A specialty coffee pour moi.

One last time to see the horses before we head back home...

Lila conquered her fear of them and...

actually gave Ashton a kiss!

"Yay!!!" 
"Conquer your fear, and I promise you, you will conquer death!"

"No!  I don't want to go home!" 

Looks like Suzy is feeling a little better!

Such a cutie!

Lila used to be scared of dogs, but look at her now, she's giving Suzy a belly rub!

Much gratitude to Suzy and her parents, Elizabeth and Nick for having us over!!!
