New Year's Eve and New Year's Day!

Happy 2019!!! How is it 2019 ... I swear just yesterday we were worried about Y2K ;)

We had a blast on New Year's Eve and New Year's Day!! We've spent the past few New Year's Eves at the Bucci's house and this year we wanted to go out before going over to their house for the count down! We decided on skating at the ODR and dinner and drinks at Brewsters. It was a little bit chilly on the ODR but we had a blast and the Mauro's brought hot chocolate for everyone! Brewsters was great, love the craft beer and the food!! Then we went back to the Bucci's to hang out and count down to the New Year :) Lots of fun and a 2 am bedtime!! Love that the kids are old enough to enjoy these late nights and it not affect them too much.

New Year's Day we had planned to just stay home and take it easy. We thought with the late bedtime, the kids would be tired and need a relaxing day at home. Nope, we were wrong!! They were antsy to get moving by noon!! We had heard the skating at Rundle Park was great, so headed there to check it out. I'm so glad we did, it was gorgeous and so much fun. They flood the walking paths around the park and also have two big rinks to play shinny on. The Bucci's, Mauro's and Scott's were also there skating and we had a great time. After skating, we were all tired and headed home for a quiet evening and an early bedtime.

Happy New Year everyone! May 2020 bless you in every way.

Lots of love,

Christmas Celebrations!

Christmas Eve brought our annual PJ Service at St. Albert United Church, followed by a fast food dinner in the van and driving around, looking at Christmas lights :) Our favorite spots to visit are Candy Cane Lane and Bob's Christmas House! It was an awesome evening, again one of my most favorite Christmas traditions! On the way home our friends the Bucci's texted us and asked us to come over, so we rushed home, changed out of our pj's and stopped by for a visit. The kids were quite concerned we were out so late on Christmas Eve ;) I think we got home around midnight but would have stayed longer had the kids not been concerned about Santa's visit!!!

We awoke Christmas morning to Santa's magic! I popped the Christmas wife saver in the oven and we enjoyed our new gifts :) Mom and Dad stopped by for a visit and dinner (appetizers as requested by the kids!). It was a quite but very enjoyable day at home.

On Boxing Day we were off to Stony Plain to celebrate with all the 'Smith' family! We had a great day at Mom and Dad's and came home late that evening with full hearts and full bellies :)

On the 27th we were out of the house early to drop Quinn off at the kennel and head to Grande Prairie to visit Cal's family! His brother and family were leaving G.P. that evening so we wanted to get there early in the afternoon to enjoy dinner together and open gifts! We spent 2 nights in Grande Prairie and had a great time catching up with all the Cameron family. We visited Cal's grandpa at the long term care centre he lives at and his Grandma came by for a visit as well. It was great to see everyone and thankfully the roads were great on the way up and pretty good on the way home!

We had an awesome few days with family and feel so blessed!! Merry Christmas everyone!!
