Another Christmas Come and Gone

Well, Christmas has come and gone for another year.

We had round 1 of the holiday with Joe's family in Alberta before taking off to Saskatchewan to spend Christmas day with my family.  As the temperatures plunged below -30 degrees Celsius, we took refuge inside with drinks, games and far too many Christmas treats.  This year, my niece is 3 years old and she's brought a whole new life to the holidays.  We left out lunch for Santa, woke up relatively early on Christmas morning not even begrudgingly, watched as she ripped through stockings and gifts with fervour and had so many toys and activities to play with after all was said and done.

With the temperatures warming slightly, we're going to start braving the cold and venturing out.  The holiday visits have started with company popping over pretty regularly and we're finally running low on turkey leftovers.

Someone is pretty excited about Canadian beer in his stocking! (Steamwhistle if you are curious.)

We'll be spending the rest of the week with my family before jetting off to Washington state for New Years Eve and finally, Vancouver to visit friends of mine before returning to Norway.

I hope you all have had a happy holiday whether you've been celebrating with family or abroad starting new traditions!
