After the craziness of our Squamish adventure in December, the rest of the year was a breeze!

We did fewer holiday events this year, but made sure to fit in our annual visit to the botanical garden’s Festival of Lights.

On Christmas Eve, we ate a lovely 3-course meal at Stanley Park’s Teahouse. The strawberry cream Christmas log was especially to-die-for good.

The rest of our holiday break was spent on the last big house project for 2024: painting the basement aka Shane’s office. And of course eating and running (so we could eat even more) and hanging out with our silly dogs and assorted dollies.

We had bought “Naughty” and “Nice” hats while in Squamish, and those were a big hit (for chewing of course, not wearing).

Wishing all of you bright and beautiful things in 2025!
