Operation Explorations: December 2011
http://operationexplorations.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
Monday, December 5, 2011. I LOVE the Christmas holidays! I love the sights and sounds and smells of Christmas. I love the magic of Christmas. I love just sitting by the Christmas tree in the evenings, all lit up and the fire a glow. I love all the time we spend together as a family. I don't like the cold white stuff much but the Christmas season I love! We don't have a lot of family traditions but the ones we have are important to us. Aayla helping in 2009. 2009 tree all decorated. 2010 tree all decorated.

Wednesday, November 16, 2011. A weekend in Seattle. Mom and I took the girls to Seattle for a weekend get away which turned into a kids weekend :). We visited the Seattle Children's Museum. Playing in this little taco restaurant was Aaylas favourite thing to do. Making smoothies just like daddy does. Walking through leaves my girls can't help but pick them up by the handfuls. And the Woodland Park Zoo. We bought bird food feeders for $2 each to feed the birds. Oh and I bought this book ( find it here.

Sunday, January 29, 2012. Pinterest plus RVing :). I just read THIS post on Rick and Paulette's RV Travels. For RV'ing and I just had to share it! In between cleaning and sorting and preparing to sell our house I have been totally addicted to Pinterest. I how ever have only used it for craft items, recipes, earthship ideas, things for the home, natural living etc and never even thought of the RV possibilities. How many countless blogs do I follow? I quickly went and made new pinboards HERE. Now we cross ...

Monday, April 23, 2012. So Many Thank yous. Our last few days in BC were kind of hectic with packing and cleaning and saying our goodbyes to family and friends but we managed to get everything packed and in the moving truck. including the hot tub :). I must say that craning the hot tub over the neighbours house was a little nerve racking but the crane held up and we managed to get it into the moving truck. We expected to have lots of room left over in the truck but it's amazing just how much stuff we sti...
