Christmas Craziness

We has such a wonderful Christmas this year. We are so lucky to have good families to spend time with.

Christmas Eve Eve, we started our day shoveling our mailbox sites. It is a struggle to get ourselves out there, and I'm pretty grumpy before we start, but it's a fun time BJ and I spend together. WW lucks out and gets to stay home with a sitter. This is our third year, and we love to spend the money we make each season a few times, but it's always nice to have some mad money! But it's always a gamble every year to see how much snow falls :)

Later that day we went out to Spruce Grove to watch their presentation of the nativity live. It was amazing to watch, and freezing cold but the spirit was so strong. It was great to do it with family too. BJ's brothers, their wives and the kids braved the cold with us, and then we all went back to H&M's for Thai food. I wish I had taken a picture of the meal. It was incredible!!!
The next day- Christmas Eve, we met up with BJ's siblings for tobogganing on a little hill in Ottewell. It was a chilly day, but we all started with happy faces, but the boy did not like the actual tobogganing part. He was a wreck!

Going down the hill with his auntie. She was having fun, WW not so much. I love these next couple pictures though. When we did finally take him home when he'd had enough, his poor little hands and feet were freezing... so maybe if we had gone on a warmer day he would have enjoyed himself a little more. The cousins and their parents had a great time though.

That night (Christmas Eve) was turkey dinner with the Fixsen's. It was delicious!

Christmas Day breakfast, stockings, presents and turkey dinner with the Mabey's

Boxing day turkey dinner with the Drever's. BJ's mom's family in Camrose.

It was a busy holiday with LOTS of food and late nights, but it was a wonderful Christmas with lots to be thankful for. We are definitely looking forward to the new year and the things it has in store for our little family.
