Christmas and New Years

Well here I am finally getting around to posting about Christmas and New Years this year. Things were supposed to slow down a bit in January and I guess they have but life is still busy!

In typical fashion we celebrated Christmas quite a f
ew times with various family get-togethers. Before going south, we had our own pre-Christmas morning at our own house. Here is Matt with a special present that Jaina made him at school:

We went to Taber to stay with Papa for Christmas Eve. It was fun for the kids, we were quite sad missing my mom, but I think it helped to be together with each other. And it was nice to spend some time with Papa. We also had a nice brunch on Christmas Day at my stepsister Laurie's house and got to spend some time reminiscing with the Mexico gang.

We had a nice Christmas dinner at my Auntie C
arole's on Christmas Day. My cousin, my Granny, and Veronica and Chris were there too. I guess we were having too much fun or were too busy keeping up with the kids to take many photos, but here's Lewis with Granny:

We had some good family time at Grandma and Pap
a O's house, with Uncle Jason, Auntie Michaelia and Oscar staying there too. Again, we were too busy having fun and didn't end up with many family photos, here are the kids "helping" Oscar open his gifts:

We took the kids to a hockey game while we were there, here are the two of the cutest hockey fans ever:

Then New Year's was spent in Calgary with the Olferts. Some went to the Flames vs. Oilers game while Michaelia and I hung out at the house with the kids and had a good visit. We did a fondue here and went out for brunch the next day. It was a fun time with family.
