Christmas on Salt Spring Island

 This Christmas was spent with Grandma and Grandpa Baker and the Junior Bakers. We couldn't arrive on SSI until a few days before Christmas, a bit different from the month early last year.  They waited for our arrival to cut and decorate the tree which the kids just loved.
 Aunt Corrina curled Madeleine's hair and it looked be beautiful.
 This is heaven for Madeleine....until she started sneezing. Oh, we hope she is not allergic to Blackberry, that would be so sad and she loves her so much.

 Aunt Corrina did my hair too!
 The two little ones had fun banging on the piano together.
 You should have seen how still these two wiggle worms sat as Uncle Leif/Dad read them a book!
 Our attempt at a family picture.
 Working outside on the farm.  Though really I don't feel of much use as I am holding Olivia most of the time. The ground is just too uneven for her to get around well.  She was so happy to get out onto the road and walk on her own.  Notice Justin's arm around Austin. He was so sweet to him on our walk.



 I am perpetuating the Harbertson tradition of pushing each other around in a laundry basket. It comes in second place to a ride on a blanket though. They'd have me do that for hours if I would.
 Game time.

 The family. Austin only like to look if it is his idea.
 Julia's present to Olivia, a baby and a stroller.  Both of the girls gave the other something they have at home. You should have seen there confusion and frustration when the other was trying to play with "their toy."
