Minter Gardens!!
So tonight we headed to Chilliwack. Benjamin, Bonnie and his 2 favorite girls with 3 letter names; Jen and Net!! (Jennifer and Lynette) We went for supper
at BP's and enjoyed a super duper pizza. It was really fun. Then into the car and off too the Minter Gardens for a night of lights and pictures.
I thought I knew where it was but we decided to take the long way around and wasted some time driving. This however ended up being very fun. We love spending time with the girls and Ben really loves them as well.
This is a picture of Ben and the girls. They hug and kiss and chase and play with him like crazy. He loves the attention of older girls already. YIKES!! Anyway we appreciate them and love that they love our "Sweetpea"! (Net calls him that).
Anyway, there were lots of lights, decorations, a nativity scene, the Christmas Carol in lights and the Wizard of Oz! It was cool and all of it from a train ride it was great. Ben loved the train and just sat there and enjoyed the scenery. He didn't really talk but I think he was a tad bit overwhelmed.
This trip was for Bonnie and her Christmas spirit. She spent all week baking and getting in the Christmas mood. We have no decorations and haven't really had much "Christmas" so Bonnie needed some lights and festive things to get her in the mood.(of Christmas that is!)!!
One more week and we are off to Alberta. We continue to anticipate a great time visiting friends in Coaldale and family in Airdrie. Have a great weekend. Maybe some more posts to come. We have serious family gatherings this weekend.

Lights make the season more cheery, unless you see ours, it makes you want to cry. There is always next year.

cute pics, miss you guys. we should be back in calgary on the 28th around noon, spending the afternoon/night with our barkey cousins. the next day we were wondering if we could take you guys up on that offer and drive out to airdree (sp?) and stay the night (29-30?) would that work? we would really like to see you guys but we have to be back in med hat for the 31 fora party with our friends there. hope it all works out, i think my mom gave you guys our cell number. anyways, gotta go. we are in NC and its a brautiful 20 degrees (on the plus side! not minus) so im going out side in my flip flops and a t-shirt cause this wont last for very long for us! love you guys.
