Photos from Christmas in Cochrane and Canmore 2018
First, some older videos to catch up with life (and Natalia's phone)

Walter holding the snowman and watching the train. This is now our third Christmas train. I hope this one
also leaves the house soon, but for now, the boys love it.

After Mommy left for the weekend, the boys went bananas on the Christmas tree and specifically the
cupcake decorations.

Walter loves the new train set for the Christmas tree.

Henry and I went for a ski at Nakiska to try out my leg, but also to give Henry some time on the
magic carpet. Here he is lovingly staring at the Silver chair - he can't wait to ride 'the big chair'.

Henry and Carl and his son Ryan at the Canadian Brewhouse where we had lunch before Carl and Ryan
rode the bus to the Flames game.

Henry cross-country skiing at Peter Lougheed, at the Elk Pass trailhead. It turns out it was a bit steep
for Henry and his boots are a bit big for these skis.

We took the boys to the Zoo Lights just before Christmas. It was a bit nutty since it was the last Sunday
before Christmas and the weather was super warm. But the boys had fun. This is Henry showing us his
favourite reindeer - Rudolph.

Henry thought it was hilarious that Walter was helping me clean.

Henry helped me shop for new shoes at Mark's. He found this pink hard hat and thought it was funny.

Walter and Henry got bath crayons and paint from Santa this year. Walter loves the crayons.
Christmas in Canmore
Full size
Maria hosted Natalia's family in Canmore this year for Christmas, which was also held on Nati's birthday!
Here is the great room set up and ready for dinner.

Maria was the perfect hostess, even with a rehabbing ankle in a walking boot. She made a stellar turkey
that turned out really well.

We met up with the Red Deer crew for some fun time at Bass Pro. I call this 4 boys and a big polar
bear phallus. Someone had actually shaved it, which is hilarious.

Henry with his lego set that he bought with Grandma G's bday money.

Natalia and I had new year's eve in this year. We made a seriously awesome cheese fondue and actually
used kirsch for the first time. Notice the Safeway tray buns and ripple chips for dipping in cheese.

Henry and Walter making a rocket downstairs with the extension set we got from my friend Shane in Ireland.

This is apparently the 'shuttle' with its booster rocket.

This is our neighbour Dave with the 'road beast' just before the tow truck took it away.
