We had a beautiful walk out at MacDonald Beach this afternoon.

A couple more shots from the beach.

The dogs had a great time.

Took several attempts to get this picture - Paul was goofing around!

Frozen ocean

Today's sunrise - Mount Baker in the background

A great day riding on Cypress.

A well earned pint for lunch!

Christmas Eve Dinner - thanks for the picture Mark

The gang - Trixie has lost her sight after a stroke and likes to be close to a warm body - even the dogs warm bodies count!

Christmas morning - bubbles for breakfast!

Buddy & Bailey enjoying a very 'green' Christmas walk!

Christmas Eve Dinner - good food and good company!

Maya shaking her booty!

A tradition, watching 'A Christmas Carol', Hil saw all the way to the end ........

.......the rest of the family did not!

A couple of the tree

Bailey will find a comfy spot anywhere - yes, this is Paul's backside!

Putting up the Christmas Tree - with a little help!

After a busy day playing in the snow Buddy & Bailey decided to share the dog bed!

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!

Buddy & Bailey out at Rainbow Park - Bailey discovered what thin ice was!

Fun in the snow!

Tonight we went to the Vancouver Christmas Market - it is based upon a traditional German Market with the vendors coming from all over Europe.

Of course we just had to sample the Gluehwein - traditional German mulled wine , it was very good!

Paul's best Father Christmas impression - check out the decoration behind him!

We had hot roast chestnuts from the 'Coffee and Nuts' stall - they were also very good!

And of course Paul found a real Christmas Tree to smell!

Came across this great picture of Dobcross in the snow!
