Christmas in HP AB

Edmonton set a record today for the most simultaneous blog posts. I forgot about it, but I offer my belated support with two posts today.

I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season. In spite of not gaining any weight (I was sick for much of the last week), I had a great Christmas in good ol’ High Prairie.

When I got there on Saturday, I was greeted by Sisters and their families already there. This is the first I’ve seen Amy since she started showing. She looks happy doesn’t she?


That evening Amy continued to keep us in on the traditional Gingerbread house. It really was most fun for my niece and nephew.



On Sunday I was greeted by the sort of sunrise that you can only get in the far north. The photo doesn’t do it justice.



Also, my parents like to take pictures of their posterity on Sundays. Here we are.





On Monday, it was nice enough to play outside. My nephew helped build a snowman (Although the peanut eye was problematic)


And we all helped build the Quintse, even me; I have proof.



Christmas morning was fun too. Though the kids were excited, probably the most excited face seen that morning was this one. It’s okay Randy; I don’t hold it against you that you are a Flames fan.



And then I got sick and forgot to take pictures. Eventually it was time for me to take that lonesome highway back home. (And I do consider Edmonton as my home now – more on that in the next post). Don’t worry; I did pull over to take this picture.


Coming up Next: New Year’s Eve from my cell-phone.

Nice pictures. What a good time you had with everyone. It looks like one of your brothers is wearing a Forsyth tartan tie. Is that right? Did it come from Scotland?
