Meeting Oscar

Michaelia and Oscar arrived at our house on Friday. We were so excited to finally meet our very first nephew and cousin, Oscar! Lewis and Jaina both adored him (as did his Auntie and Uncle), and Oscar was smiling at them too. Auntie Michaelia took Jaina to see her very first movie, Enchanted. They had a great time, and Michelle and Lewis had fun hanging out with Oscar. Here's a video of Lewis kissing Oscar:


Jason arrived Friday night, and Saturday we met up with Matt and Jason's parents at Heritage Park for the 12 Days of Christmas. It was a delicious brunch and a fun morning. Here are some photos:

Lewis and Grandma Olfert Jaina and her decorated cookie (there is in fact a cookie under there!) Michaelia also took a photo of the whole family:
We are now looking forward to celebrating Christmas in Lethbridge and then Taber with family.

Festival of Lights

On Friday night we went to the Festival of Lights out in Airdrie with my sister Veronica and her hubby Chris. We had never been before and thought we'd check it out. It ended up being quite chilly, but beautiful and we had a good time. Here are some pictures:Jaina and Auntie Veronica

Christmas Party

On Sunday, we took the kids to Matt's work Christmas party. Just like last year, they had awesome activities for the kids. We all had a good time, here are some pictures:

Santa was there to see the kids. Jaina was great this year (after all, how can you tell Santa what you want for Christmas if you don't sit on his lap??), but Lewis freaked, so we got a family photo done: Santa brought gifts!

Lewis remembers what to do with them...
