I'll Be Home For Christmas

I'm here, back in Alberta, where the dry air stings my nose. It almost feels like I haven't left in a way. My cat was in the house waiting for me and we spent some time together and then my parents dog chased him around the house...

How are all you guys/gals doing so far? As I said to some, I want to see at least everyone try and blog on here about their holidays! :P With at least two pictures ;)

I won't count this as my post, but I had so much fun on the flight back here. I had my trusty G9 with me and I having a window seat I took pictures the entire way out here. There was a beautiful sunset over the rockies and Calgary as I came in.

Once I was on the ground and had my luggage my Mom took me out for dinner to Peter's Drive-In (traditionally the best drive-through in the world)! Then it was on to home, where I would be met by Baxter (parents dog) jumping into the car at me. All in all it's been a good day. I hope to hear from you all!

Merry Christmas!

Snow Days!

It came down and it came down some more. Yesterday it snowed from early morning till 9PM, delivering approx. 6"+ of snow. Needless to say, we were all very excited for this considering it wasn't wet snow. It was the perfect snowball/jump making snow. We got the van stuck coming back from Oceanview on the road to Qwanoes, snow watch was on for the tents and everyone was in a good mood. Could we ask for a better December 1st? Here are a couple of shots from that evening when the snow settled down a bit.

Ladysmith Light-Up

Just thought that I would post some images from our trip last night to the Ladysmith Light-up. I think that everyone really enjoyed the quick yet amazing stroll to downtown Ladysmith to experience the holiday festivities.

Reading Break @ Qwanoes?

IMG_0753.jpg


As most of you went away for your breaks and spent some great "fam" time, there were a select few that decided to stay behind and "work".

Well, the other night we decided to head over to Chemanius for their last preview night of Miracle on 34th Street.

It was such a blast! Growing up I was never really introduced or never really showed any interest in this type of art. But I really enjoyed it! The Santa Claus was so believable, and the play was very well done. Just ask Melissa, Aimee, Andrew or Dave.

Not only did we go to a play on Wednesday night, but we also had a Christmas party (of sorts) on Monday night. Complete with eggnog, candy canes, yummy chocolates and other snacks. For some reason the gang really wanted to make a movie about Andrew having a crush on Tara?? The video's on my computer...for later release :)
