Holiday Season Blog Update


It's been a busy season and not much time to update the blog which will probably wind down eventually. Here we are at Mormors birthday at Lougheed House for brunch in mid November.


The boys had ski lessons in November at Winsport. We hope to go skiing as a family later this winter. We might as well have fun with what we have - beautiful mountains to ski on.



Mads has been taking Tae kwon do all fall and completed testing in November where he moved up in belt colour. 



Here the boys are playing with after school friends.



In mid December, there was a Christmas concert at St. Mike's again. Bobs had a special role playing the hand bells. 


Here I am with my boss at our Christmas lunch at Tsuu T'ina. 


Mads is here with all of his best friends in grade 2.




Over the holidays, we were lucky enough to dog sit two chihuahuas from next door. Amiga and Guapo.



Amiga liked to snuggle and Guapo likes to play. They were very well behaved and we enjoyed their company.


We also had a party with our old neighbours with Danish and Polish Christmas food. 


On Christmas Eve, Mormor joined us for duck dinner and presents.



She brought Risalamande, a Danish Christmas dessert where, if you get the large almond in your dish, you win the marzipan pig.



We thought a lot about Grandma and Grandpa and other family in Ontario. On Christmas morning we were surprised with this amazing crokinole board. 



We all have this whole week off to spend together. So we have been keeping busy going to trampoline places, the Star Wars movie, and a Hitmen hockey game with the Marsdens 


On New Years Eve, we were planning on going to the cabin, but the weather is very cold. Instead, we will have the Marsden and Kuzel's over for games and a sleepover.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all of Mads and Bobs fans.

Summer's a Wrap


Since getting home from Ottawa, we have been to the cabin nearly every weekend.




We also had a day at Lake Bonavista in Calgary with some old friends and their kids.


The kids really enjoyed their summer camps. They did Mini University at UofC with their friends, however, their favourite camp of all time was the Minecraft camp.



Because we go to the cabin so often, we miss out on seeing the mountains. We reserved one weekend in late August to hike in the Kananaskis.




We also took a week off from summer camps. Mommy took the boys to Calaway Park for a day, Daddy took them to Heritage Park, and Mormor had the boys at Bowness Park.


The september long weekend was at the cabin. We have had such nice long weekend weather this year.



When it got windy, we flew a kite at the lake and it was great fun.


The sunday of the long weekend, we drove home early to attend James and Blanca's 40th birthday. It was a lot of fun. It had a similar set up to a wedding reception.



The kids danced all night long and didn't want to leave when it was time to go at 10:30pm.


The first week of school went well with Bobs in grade 4 and Mads in grade 2.


Mads has started Taekwondo at a local academy. Bobs will be starting coding classes next week.
