| Christmas Eve cookie decorating and supper with our dear friends Jen and Naoto. |
 |
| We woke up to find Santa had built Sam a race car track. Silly Santa forgot batteries so it was a little slow to play with... |
 |
| Santa left some footprints!!!! Can't even believe it. While making breakfast Sam called out to me and said "Those prints aren't snow, they are sugar!" Should have guessed my guy would taste test!!! Little did Sam know that the snow in the North Pole is sweeter than here. We drove down to Rimbey Christmas day and all my siblings were there with all their kiddos! It was a busy crazy house but so wonderful to have Sam off playing with his cousins and some time to catch up with my family. |
 |
| Boxing Day morning we helped Grandpa feed the kitties and we brought them their Christmas present. Mommy loves those farm cats! |
 |
| Then out to Granny and Big Bob's for our Boxing Day tradition. It was so nice to see all my cousins, watch the newest generation play together and spend some time laughing through a wacky gift exchange! |
 |
 |
| Sweet Sequoia... I spent a good chunk of time winning this little sweet pea over. I tea partied until she realized I wouldn't give up and just decided to join me! Love her! |
 |
| This was a little magic wand moment when the crew opened Auntie Brie's super cool gift! |
 |
| Littlest love, baby Nixon, experiencing his first CRAZY Boxing Day on the farm. Such a little sweetheart. |
 |
| Another tradition with my family since I was a kid is that we go bowling Boxing Day evening in Ponoka. The little guys all had their own lane. I call this the "Gorilla". |
 |
| 'This is the "Kickin' It" |
 |
| And lastly the "Floor Smash". |
 |
| On the 27th we had Christmas with the Connolleys. Firstly Roxy got her gift from Sam. |
 |
| We are so lucky to have the BEST EVER tobogganing hill. Grandpa fell off the back and speedy Kaili took off without him. |
 |
| Super cool and super fast sled! |
 |
| We bought Sam a snowboard for Christmas. Shaun got a little tow rope with it so the first day Shaun pulled him back and forth without his feet in bindings. Here is Sam getting his first Daddy lesson! |
 |
| Coolest boarders on the hill! |
 |
| Lorraine cooked the most beautiful Christmas dinner. My tummy was so full that I was uncomfortable even in my stretchy pants!! |
 |
| Two best buddies. Kaili is the sweetest cousin to Sam... she is patient and fun and willing to spend hours listening to Sam chat about everything. |
 |
| My Momma and Auntie Bobbie. Some of my family came out to the Connolley's on Dec 28th for some sledding and homemade chili. It was a little cold, but hiking up and down the hill kept us warm. |
 |
| Sam's first ever run down the hill all strapped in and super confident. It was AMAZING! |
 |
| My snowboarder. I can just picture years of father and son fun on the hill snowboarding! |
 |
| Love |
This could be one of my favourite Christmas' to date. So thankful for all the holidays brought my family... love, laughter, gifts, time, food and happiness.
