.More of December

20161219 family party (34) edit

A week before Christmas we drove out to Air's parent's house in Cold Lake to celebrate with them a little early. We had so much fun… including two big surprises!

1. Air's Pop was called as the bishop on the Sunday we arrived there!

2. There was a knock at the front door and TESSA walked in from Hawaii!? She stayed all the way through New Years and it was so good to have her around again.

We had a little party with so much yummy food:

Most of us went to bed at this point, but these night owls started game night:

.The first half of December

20161205 Muttart Christmas pics (19) edit

Welcome to our December of last year! We took the family to the Muttart Conservatory (indoor botanical gardens) for our Christmas photo shoot this year. It was so much fun and we were so lucky to get some great shots of these kids when there was so much stuff around for them to explore. Blessings
