Christmas in Victoria 2010

Here's the plane ride to Victoria. Thank God for WestJet TV's and the cartoon network! Parker amused himself for nearly an hour! Finally the kid finally hit a brick wall and slept! Parker is the Energizer Bunny - I don't know how he does it!



















































When we arrived in Victoira, we headed to Auntie Mar's house, who was having a Christmas Eve dinner party and invited a few couples, including my own parents over dinner!

Overall the weather in Victoria was about +5 C! Pretty tropical compared to Winterpeg! It was great, but a bit weird not to have snow for Christmas!

Here is Lori, Auntie Mar and Carolyn!



Parker loved the Bouncin' Tigger Auntie Mar had!














Here is Carolyn bouncing Parker on the air mattress in her basement! Parker actually got some air under his butt a few times! He was having a blast!

























Christmas morning at the Rieberger/Walker residence! Parker got a Black and Decker tool set from Claire and Jeff! He was fascinated with the tape measure - of all things! I tried so hard to get him to wear his safety goggles to get a picture - but it wasn't to be!









































For Jeffrey, we bought him a Manitoba Moose sweatshirt with his last name and the number 1 on it. For Parker, he had the matching long-sleeved shirt with Edinger and a 1/2 on the back! Quite the cute little couple! Oh yeah - Parker LOVED Jeffrey! They played hockey, they wrestled - Parker had a thing where he would grab Jeff's legs to try and take him down...of course Jeff would play along! It was supper cute! I think Parker would have stayed in Victoria just to play with Jeffrey! I sure hope they come to Winnipeg this summer! Hint, hint :).


















Here is Shawn, Parker and Jeff assembling Jeff's Mouse Trap game - the game sure is a classic!















This is where you would find Parker most of the time - playing hockey in Carolyn and Kevin's driveway! He was obsessed with putting on the goalie equipment! And of course he stopped every shot that came close to him! Geez, who am I kidding - he was worse that a sieve! He had a blast nonetheless! Get a load of the Shawn and Jeffrey action shot of the two of them racing to the goal! Parker of course stopped the shot...NOT...notice he's not even paying attention in the background! Plus, Parker stood inside the net...so if the kid DID stop a ball....Shawn or Jeff would have scored anyhow!



















Look at these turkeys! Go Claire and Jeff go! Parker was trampoline-aphobic!
