Holidays Part 2: Cousins come to Visit

After Christmas, Grama and Grampa Bryant came for a visit.  They brought along Carter, Abigail and Teagen. We filled our days with skating, tobogganing, and play.  Grampa Bryant had to come back to Calgary the next week so they left Abby and Carter for the next week.  The kids had so much fun.  We went skating at the pond on New Years Eve, tobogganing at Eagle Terrace and at Spray Lakes. Ryan and Cheryl hosted an ugly sweater party on New Years Eve and it was a fun night of games, ping pong and some hideous outfits!  

This is one of the Crazy games we played.  Trying to pick up the cardboard with your teeth with no hands and one foot on the ground.  As the game goes on the cardboard keeps getting shorter.

Kids all dressed up New Years Day!

Holidays Part 1

It has been a busy few weeks with concerts, parties and family visits!  I will break the holiday up into two posts: up to Christmas and after Christmas:)
Logan's Christmas concert was held at the Banff Springs Hotel.  The kids were met with cookies to decorate and a hot chocolate bar.  We then had time to wonder the halls and check out the beautiful decorations before returning to the ballroom for the kids to to sing and visit Santa.  Auntie Kelsey was visiting so she got to come and watch too!  That afternoon was Autumns party and visit from Santa.  She was not too impressed with him:) After Heidi was done school on Friday we went out to Fairmont where mom and dad and my sisters were.  Aaron hooked up with Ryan Tarves for a day of ice climbing Saturday and the rest of us did puzzles, swam and played racquetball followed by a large Turkey Dinner.  Sunday night we had a unique potluck Chinese supper followed by a Chinese gift xchange.  Some very interesting costumes!!  Mom came home with us Monday while Dad was snowmobiling...we got in some boxing day shopping downtown.  The weather has been beautiful so we have spent our days tobogganing(on frozen grass because there is no snow) and skating.  We went skiing to Sunshine on Wednesday with Auntie Kelsey!
