Getting Ready for Christmas!

A few weeks before Christmas, it's time to put up the decorations and the tree! Julius put on his festive/Canadian sweater to get into the holiday spirit!!

Got my arm out!

Mom no, what are you doing?

What are you looking at?

You've got to be kidding me.

Assembling the tree...

Tadaaa!

Et, voila!

Red Hot Chili Peppers!

My birthday present from Grant was the Red Hot Chili Peppers Concert in Manchester. We had kick-ass seats and the concert was awesome! I couldn't believe how both Anthony Kedis and Flea are 49 years old and still rocking out and looking good!

Laura's Fabulous Birthday Weekend!

Took a long weekend to the Lake District for my 31st Birthday. Lyzzick hall, just outside of Keswick, our favourite place to stay ever! Beautiful view, beautiful grounds, pool and sauna, and hotel restaurant with amazing food!!

The grounds

Complete with swing set!

So beautiful with the fall colours, and the weather was clear and dry and mild!!

The pool/sauna building.
