Fun with the family on Christmas Eve!

December 23, 2013

We were so pleased to take in the 50th anniversary of the Nativity pageant put on by the LDS church members in Calgary. I remember being in the pageant, as a youth, and it has been a tradition to go every Christmas. It was amazing to see it again, after having missed it for the past few years when we were in Saskatchewan. It truly felt like Christmas, again!

A little "quality" time with the cousins!

A fun surprise waiting for us on our doorstep this morning! We were "elf"ed! Now we get to refill the mailbox and pay it forward to another family. So much fun!

Our first official visitors to our new home! It was great to see Ben, Sara, and the kids. It will be nice living closer to them again!

Watching a random deer strolling through the neighborhood - apparently this is normal around here! LOL!

Lots of fun at the Primary Christmas party - lots of partying and festivities this week!

Assembling Christmas Cards! I love this time of year!

I think I could get used to this "coming home for lunch" thing :)

We arrived in The Hat today and were met with a fabulous meal and warm beds at the Ghemlichs house. This will be home for the next three nights. It was so nice to be so welcomed and well taken care of!

They're HEEEEEERE! I can't express what a difference it made to have movers this time. It was almost too easy! Reality of our move back to Alberta is finally hitting me :)
