We spent Christmas this year all around. It started in Kamloops where we opened gifts from Grandma and Grandpa (in Mexico). The kids loved the things they got, Disney pillows with little story books, puzzles, new jammies and more! It was fun to open them early too.

Since it was Graedin's first Christmas and he is only 3 months old, it was harder to buy for him. We managed to find him some cute little toys- a Fisher Price zoo train, and a Fisher Price gumball thing that you drop balls into, and then it plays music and such. The kids recieved many other great things from everyone this year.

My mom had gone shopping right before Christmas and bought them Christmas outfits from The Children's Place. We dressed the kids up and took some pictures:

It was great to have some family time with Chris and Camille just before Christmas. We stopped in there and crashed at their place around 3am on Christmas Eve morning. It was about a 10 hour drive to get to Lethbridge from Kamloops. When we left Calgary and started to go south, Scott tried to remember a shortcut so that we could maybe get there a little sooner. We ended up turning way too soon, and were driving in the middle of nowhere! We found dirt roads, and -30 weather, but soon found the other highway that goes near their house... It was a little scary at first, but we were pretty confident that we could find it!

We had a short sleep and then had a wonderful breakfast, and got to meet our new little niece, Kate. She is sooooo tiny, and hardly cried the whole time we were there. She is very loved by her big brother Hayden, and cousins Taryn and Levi.

After visiting Chris and Camille for a short bit (way too short!) We drove to Saskatoon to spend Christmas with Babba and Opa. We had a wonderful time snowmobiling, shopping, opening presents, baking, cooking and spending time with family. It was great to be there again after a long busy summer.

We will not be heading out there again for a while, probably July, as we will have a wedding to attend.
