Today is our last day of work before the holidays! We are lucky enough to be able to close our office for the Christmas break. We all need time to spend with our family and friends and re-charge for the New Year! So, we are excited to not have to return to work until January 5th, 2009!!!
This year we are spending Christmas with my family out in B.C. It is the first time since Yvan and I have been together that we have gone out for Christmas to the West Coast. We have been out lots in the summer and other times but not at Christmas. We are really,really looking forward to it!
We celebrated Christmas with Yvan's family on Saturday - and it was fantastic. It really felt like Christmas day! We ate lots of good food, visited and exchanged gifts! We love his family so much and we were glad to be able to spend some time with them before we head off to Vancouver.
Saturday night I had the pleasure of spending the evening with Rhonda, Shannon, Cheryl, Jess and Shauna! I love these girls! They are so understanding, supportive and fun! Thanks for the great time gals!!!
We were hoping we might get a special something for Christmas but it looks like we will have to wait until sometime in 2009 for that now! We are sad beyond belief but because of our amazing family and friends we will get thru this Christmas season and we will be o.k.
We wish you all the happiest of Christmases and all the best in 2009!!!
Merry Christmas!!!!
Love Rana and Yvan
P.S. Here is my favourite Christmas carol done by two amazing singers! (Yes, you might have already seen it on Cinn's blog today too! Great minds think alike right Cinn :)

Merry Christmas Rana! It was so great to see you again on Saturday, you're always a little ray of sunshine to me :)
I know Christmas didn't bring the news you were hoping for, I think they're saving it for a brand new year, so it's clean and a fresh start!! Your little one will be coming in 2009, that's right around the corner :)
Have fun in BC and enjoy your time off!!!
Hugs,
Rhonda
Happy Christmas Dear, Sweet Rana. I am sad too, for both of us...but...NEXT year is going to be GREAT!! Thanks for the card too. It was my first mail in my P.O.box. (-:
Have a great trip!

Happy Christmas to you as well. I've been reading about the girls evening and thinking how great it would be to do something like that where we are - I'm not sure there are any other adoption communities as large as the one you guys have in SK, but we could try!
Cheers, A
Well, with our similar tastes in music and '80s love... I have always told BDH that you're my sister from another mother! :D
All our best wishes for the holiday season from BDH, Stinkerbelle and myself, and here's hoping the new year brings you the most awesome news!!
Merry Christmas Rana and Yvan, I hope you have a wonderful holiday with friends and family. Make sure to be safe during your travels, and come home to a brand new year full of wonderful exciting surprises.
Merry Christmas

I am off after tomorrow and can't wait.
By the way, that is also my favorite Christmas Carol!

Merry Christmas and I know that the New Year will be probably your best yet and for sure your most memorable as you receive your referral, travel to Africa, and expand your family!
Merry Christmas Rana & Yvan.

Merry Christmas! I hope you didn't think you would escape the snow by coming to BC!! Wowsers, we aren't used to this much white snow!
Rana - Warm Holiday Wishes to you and your family. Just think...Christmas 2009 we will both have our little Ethiopian bundles of joy to celebrate!
Merry (belated) Christmas guys!!!
May 2009 be the most amazing year ever! Laura
Hope you enjoyed your Christmas on the west coast. My husband's parents live in BC and we've never gone there for Christmas. Maybe one of these years. They were excited to have lots of snow this year.
