It started out heading to Kiwi Day...

We walked and we walked......

and walked and walked....

we stopped and discussed, where it might be...until Lucy spotted a Stella Artois sign...and thought it might be there...IT WAS so we joined the queue outside..we waited and waited and waited for an hour...then got tired and hungry 

So we went to the pub for Fish & Chips and beer for our own Kiwi party....but not before stealing our very own Kiwi (Dean) to join us.

Vegas was AMAZING and girlfriends...we MUST go there all together at some stage.  We had so so much fun on our first anniversary...it was a perfect way to celebrate a fantastic year!

We took A LOT of pictures in Vegas, so I don't clog up the blog and overwhelm you with pics of us...click "read more" below if you're interested in seeing the piccys of Vegas.

Christmas

We didn't have a white Christmas but there sure was a lot of rain! Heres a pic of our ride over to Powell River where we spent Christmas with my Grandparents, Uncle, Aunt and Cousins.

 Chats with my Grandpa! Such and awesome memory and I'm so glad Neo captured it like this.  Grandads family is from Russia and he was telling me how his Mum and brothers and sisters had to come Canada from Russia ahead of his father and they had no idea how long it would before his Dad could join them.

 Granny with Toby wearing the jacket Neo and I bought him. sooo cute!
