Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas to all of our friends and family, we have had an amazing year and have enjoyed every moment sharing it with those around us! Now we have 2 of the best Christmas presents we could ever ask for!

Stockings hung with care - Poppy, Nikkers, Jaime, Rohan and Oscar!

Hmmmm...

Our handsome little man...

What a gorgeous little guy! We are having the best time getting to know Oscar and enjoying every minute of it, it's the best Christmas present we could get!

Love from Australia!!

We were so lucky to have Jill, Carlie, Lucy and Bella join us for a fantastic visit in antiicaption of Oscars arrival and we had the best time hanging out watching rom coms, indulging in our favourite foods and Poppy had the time of her life following her cousins everywhere!!

Thank you for bringing so much love to us in anticipation of our newest family member!

Dec 17, 2012 - Poppy meets Oscar for the first time.

On great advice (thank you Lindsay!) we filmed Poppy's first meeting with baby brother Oscar and it was definitely love at first sight!

Oscar has arrived!!

After a very fast and furious labour Oscar Noel Brial has arrived and joined us to make a family of 5! We are over the moon and just cant believe how perfect he is. He was born Dec 16th (he shares a birthday with his cousin Jessica), at 5:52 pm, weighing in at a manly 6lbs and 4 oz.

Dec 15th, Santa Photos and one more day until B2 is due!

With only one day until B2 is due we hit Oakridge Mall to catch a shot with Santa and hopefully get some labour going! Popstar was fantastic in her dress from Nicole's childhood. Max also joined us and they had everyone cooing over them!

We are so lucky to have Carlie, Jill, Lucy and Bella here with us anticipating this little ones arrival and we have been  having the best hangout time!

Come back Poppy!!

Poppy taking charge...

Happy Halloween!

Since Jaime is a little too old for Trick or Treating, we lent her Poppy so she could have the North American experience of Halloween...the rain held off just long enough to hit a few houses.

Pebbles ready to hit the streets

The first house...

The best house on the block

I've got my eye on you pumpkin...

Poppy does Vegas !

We have been a bit slack on the postings...busy getting ready for baby number 2! Here are a few shots from Poppy's first trip to Vegas !

Poppy's first hockey game - Vancouver Giants!

Sitting in the third row - Poppy loved the hockey!! Her favourite part was when they body checked each other against the glass.

Poppy's first haircut!

With fringe in her eyes, it was definitely time for Poppy's first haircut!

Nick & Amy come to visit...

We had the most wonderful visit with Nick & Amy who drove across Canada to come visit us (and spend some time with our little popstar!). They had quite an adventurous week, including a late night and some missing keys. Below are a few photos from our camping weekend in the Callaghan Valley http://www.env.gov.bc.ca/bcparks/explore/parkpgs/callaghan_lk/

Thank you for such an amazing visit, and have a safe drive home and remember when in doubt 

don't worry 'Nick will do it'
