Trip to Toronto and Bolton

Sunday got away from me this week seeing as we had just gotten home from visiting family, and I was just TOO tired to write a single word, so here is this weeks update. 

Wednesday afternoon we left for a much needed vacation to visit both of our families in Toronto and Bolton.  First we saw Mike's family.  Kristina, and Tony had not seen Xander since last August, so it was a much needed visit for them.  He has grown so much since they saw him last.  When we arrived everyone was there and VERY happy to see him.  It's so fun to see grown men with babies.  I take it for granted by seeing mike with Xander on a daily basis, but seeing Uncle Tony interact with him and cuddle him, makes me smile. 

I MADE Kristina go price matching and couponing with me.  An addiction of mine.  I think she finally understands why I do i t and how much she can actually save by going to one store, doing all your groceries there, and price matching and using coupons.  She was shocked when we went to get coupons at Shoppers Drug Mart and there was a L'oreal coupon for $2.00 off a product, that just happened to be on sale for $3.99.  Once the light went off that the regular price was $6.99, with the sale and the coupon, she was saving $5.00 per product, she was like OMG REALLY!  It was nice to see and I hope she keeps it up because it makes such a HUGE difference on your bills! 

We also had a good visit with Mike's mom.  She stayed at Kristina's the night we arrived, and we took her home the next day and had a visit with her and Grandpa Sam.  Xander was able to get his Christmas presents from them(too big for her to bring them on the train).  He had fun opening them with Justis, and LOVES to play with them! Thank you Teta and Grandpa Sam!!



One Friday afternoon we made our way to my sisters house.  Tanner was staring in a play that weekend so we really wanted to be there to support him.  Xander LOVES Auntie Becky's house because it's so big to run around in, and he loves her piano.  He and Rhiannon had a wonderful time playing on it, changing all the settings, and making it really loud to annoy Auntie Becky(he learned well from his mother!). 


Saturday we went to watch Tanner play the Grand Duke in Cinderella.  It was all kids playing the roles, and they all did very well.  It was well done and completely adorable.  The kids seemed to have a blast doing it too.  Tanner had a few lines and his performance was awesome!  He even had to do a little write up to thank the "director", and present it at the end of the show.  He is one amazing kid.  Not shy to try anything!  He is the one in the gold hat!
