We had the most wonderful holiday in these parts. It was a white Christmas first off - something that just seems to make this part of the year extra special - and most importantly, we had loads of family out here to celebrate the holidays. It was a jam packed few weeks with mountain trips, baking, game playing, sledding, Zoo Lights, knitting and all things crafty, colouring, entertaining family and friends, and of course we rounded it all out with pool and ping pong. There was even a pool and ping-pong tournament here with Aidan's curling team and their families. Excitement for the holidays is always at a high level here and this year was no different.
The big day itself was perfect in every sense in that we celebrated it all with family.
We had a great dinner full of yummy food and it was our largest one yet!
Pool and ping-pong became a hugely popular past time as everyone worked on brushing up on their skills.
And as tradition holds, the New Year welcomed Olle Bollen a Dutch tradition that I hope we can stick with over the coming years.
The house was full of excitement with people coming and going over the course of the holidays and I wouldn't have it any other way. We are finding ourselves once again wrapped up in the busy-ness of not one school, but now two schools, and weekend sports and man somedays it's hard to keep up! At any rate, everyone has got the new year kicked off to a great start and we look forward to what adventures will come our way this year!
All right 2016....let's do this!
