This year Christmas was full of traveling, shopping, eating, swimming, sledding and of course seeing family. We headed to Ponoka from Saturday until Christmas morning to hang out with my parents. We did a quick trip to Airdie in there to visit my brother and a day in Red Deer at an awesome swimming pool. We also took Macie sledding for the first time as the weather was gorgeous and there was tons of snow. Macie loved it and of course had no fear. Christmas morning was fun and Macie loved opening presents and also being Santa and handing everybody else there presents. After the excitement of Christmas morning we headed to Calgary to my sisters house where all my family showed up for dinner and visiting, even my Grandma Prive was able to make it. It was such a great time and my sister did such a wonderful job hosting. That night we then headed to Lethbridge and stayed a couple nights at the Holiday Inn where we meet up with Mark's family and did some swimming at the hotel, dinner, and mini golf. I always love visiting Mark's family, it is always too short of a visit, they are so good at always planning something fun to do when we come visit and taking the time to drop everything going on in there busy lives to hang out with us. We then headed back home on Saturday and I have got to brag for a second about how amazing the kids where for the way home. Macie just snuggled into her car seat with Nanie's (her blankets), apple jack, and lily JR (her stuffed puppy) and watched a ton of shows and didn't fuss once, and Wade slept, ate and had one 20 minute cry season. They were little angels. Christmas was definitely a good one this year, it was nice to not have it just be all about the presents, but mostly about visiting family, having fun, singing Christmas Carols, watching Christmas shows and being with our children. I hope we have many more Christmas's like this in the future.
