The Becker Family Christmas Greeting 2023

🎄 Happy Holiday Greetings! 🎄

We hope this holiday season finds you happy and healthy, surrounded by friends and family.


The Year In Review 
~ The Becker Family 2023 ~

3 trips to Europe 🌎 ✈️ 🗺 
In March, Jason and Jaime went to Italy. In August, Bella travelled thru France, Spain and Turkey. In October, Jaime and Bella went on an impromptu trip to Paris: c'est la vie!

3 x hockey 🏒🥅 🏒  1 coach, 1 goalie, 1 billet
Jason coached Team BC at the WHL cup in Calgary, Braxton is the starting goalie this season, and we welcomed our billet Tristan into the family for the season.

1 graduation 👩🏽‍🎓  Class of 2023
Bella graduated high school this past June. Next up, Braxton - Class of 2024.

1 puppy with big, BIG energy 🐶 😈  
Benji made it to his 1st birthday. He continues to be all things naughty and sometimes nice.  He's managed to break out of 4 crates, ripped down 2 sets of blinds and chewed up Gigi's prescription glasses.  When he is distracted with making good decisions, he's the cuddliest, cutest puppy around.  He loves walks by the ocean, crab digging at the beach and sleeping in your bed.

No bad days ✈️ 🙏🏻
Even on a bad day Jaime will still find a way to enjoy her job. Not only does she like her coworkers, but that impromptu flight to Paris only cost $200 roundtrip - upgraded. Work perks for the win!


I recently learned about a term called a ✨✨✨"glimmer"✨✨✨
Glimmers are those micro moments in your day that make you feel joy, happiness, peace or gratitude.
Once you train your brain to be on the lookout for "glimmers",
 the more these tiny moments will begin to appear. 
🦋🕊🦋

Wishing you joy and cheer this Christmas and always.
May your days be merry, bright and 
full of love and glimmers.
 ~  May you have a December to remember ~
Much love from our family to yours,
Jason, Jaime, Bella, Braxton and Benji 🐾
❤️🎅🏻🎄⛄️❄️

Class of 2024



  Class of 2024 🎓💫 🏒🥅
 
 Here we are at it again!
However, when the baby in the house enters 
his final year of grade school, it hits different:
I want to cry and celebrate at the same time.

He has spent all 4 high school years at the Pacific Coast hockey academy
and we couldn't be more proud of how he handles 
this jam-packed scheduleof academics, training and game time.
If you know him, he's always grinning ear to ear and he's always
 talking waaaaayyyyy too much!
However, most teachers and coaches along the way 
have told us they've always appreciated a *Braxton story*, 
whether on or off the bench. #factswithBrax

His character and personality make him stand out from a crowd;
his positivity is a superpower! 
He takes advice and uses it wisely.
Braxton, we hope you continue all of this and more -
 today, tomorrow and always.
THIS is what will carry you thru life. Keep being you.

Good luck this season as starting goaltender and 
cheers to one of the most memorable years of your life:
 G R A D U A T 👨🏽‍🎓O N!
 
I can't wait to see that the future holds for you!

Wishing all the boys in my house the best season yet:
Coach Becker, Braxton and our billet Tristen.

Prom 👩🏽‍🎓🌹✨
We flew all the way to LA to find the perfect dress . . .
Worth the girls trip. Worth this moment. 


Moment cherished forever. 



"Friends come and go like waves of the ocean,
but the true ones stick like an octopus on your face."

These two: octopuses. 
Best friends.
I love everything about their friendship.

19 years and counting

 
  We behaved like tourists in our own city strolling the downtown harbour
hitting up pubs and taking in views.
And then we came upon this: Heart's Content
~ perfectly fitting for an anniversary ~
 🍾🥂✨💕 
19 years and counting . . .
 

And just like that, Graduation




Time, where did you go?
Holding on to all the beautiful moments: preschool, elementary school,
picture days, first day back to school, christmas concerts, track meets,
middle school, volleyball, high school, driving ... 
and just like that - GRADUATION.
When they say time flies, they weren't kidding.
These are the moments in life that will always be remembered,
cherished and held close to my heart.
We moms do that: we hold every darn thing in our hearts.
So every growl, scowl or eye-roll I received on picture day,
was a million times worth it.

Join me while I journey down memory lane . . .

Vancouver Fashion Week FW2023



Vancouver Fashion Week Fall Winter 2023
Designer: Ewma

( Don't show her dad )
🫣🤫😝

 

 




Designer: Noriko Kikuchi




 

She walked her very first Vancouver Fashion Week at the early age of 13.
This one marks 5 years strong.
She loves the runway and the runway loves her.
She's been posted 3 times in Vogue Mexico, 
one of them being from this event.
Incredibly proud to see her grow into such a 
strong, confident, beautiful human.
We have shared many moments, memories and outfits.
And I can't wait to see what the future holds for this girl of mine.
