Between Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, I logged somewhere around 20 hours of driving. I had to be in a lot of different places, and I somehow managed to make it happen. Christmas morning was spent at home, after which I travelled to Toronto to spend some time with Desi and her mom. From there we headed to Sudbury and had a blast with family, many of which Desi had not met before. Before the night was over I had driven Desi back to Toronto and myself back to Barrie to work the boxing day rush. Phew!

But you know what? I’d do all that driving again in a heartbeat.

Christmas Day was great this year, seeing so much family. Aunt Louise, uncle Mark, and my cousins Hannah and Essa were around this year, which the first year in nearly about 20 years since all of my mom’s sisters were together for Christmas Day. This required a group shot of everyone of course, which I’d love to share with everyone:

There were so many great moments this year, and I’m glad that I had my camera to capture them and share them. Years from now I’m sure I’ll look back on these pictures and smile. Its too bad that Mika, Melissa, and Karryna were not able to be in the family group shot, but for the one I’ll be printing they will be at least added in afterwards. The whole album from Christmas Day is below. I’ll be mailing out a few sets of these photos to people, so if you’d like one, let me know!
