Overwhelmed

I hardly know where to begin as I have not been keeping my posts up to date this past while. But here goes Christmas:

I was luckily enough to spend Christmas with the Crawfords this year. I went out to the family farm for Christmas day and got to play croquet and bocce and partake in the food and games with the whole family. It was absolutely brilliant! :D



The neighbours were flying kites. I absolutely love this shot!



Grandpa Val



The other neighbours had alpacas. She runs some sort of animal rescue program for alpacas, and these freshly shorn "sheep gone wrong" now live on her farm.



Three month old foal. He was too people shy to touch, but he was beautiful to watch.



Cranium!!! Boys vs. Girls. We whipped 'em good :D



The croquet was great, even if I wasn't all that good at it. The boys/men were pretty sharp at it though. This is Brian on the right and his dad on the left. It was cool that Brian and his sisters were all in their 20s so I wasn't the only one in that age group there.


I feel very blessed to have been part of the family during their Christmas. I wish I had a picture of Sonia the grandmother of the family. She was a very sweet woman and she knit a shawl and gave it to me for Christmas. It was a brilliant day :D
