Sarah's Birthday
Sarah celebrated her 11th birthday this week.
She had a bowling/swimming party with her friends and had lots of fun. Some of those kids were great bowlers!
Sarah opened her birthday presents at home in front of the Christmas tree. She loves when it is Christmas-y for her birthday. Not a pleasure many of us can share!
Happy Birthday!

Cowboy Day
The girls' school has dress up days which are often the typical "pyjama day" or "crazy hair" things , but this month, they go a little bit Calgary-style creative and kids dressed up in their Western finest. The ladies borrowed our hats and looked mighty fine, I think you'll agree.

Cabin in the Woods
Ski season is quite definitely upon us. Last weekend the Women's World Cup Race was on and almost all the hotel rooms were booked. No room at the Inn for us!
We managed to sneak into the Baker Creek Chalets, a lovely spot that doesn't take dogs and usually requires a minimum 2 night stay. They only had one night available, though, and our neighbours were able to look after Rustle, so we had the pleasure of a little mountain vacation in a beautiful cabin in the woods.
Sarah looking over us from the loft bedroom, complete with Christmas garland.
The antler chandelier. Started lots of conversations, I'll say that much for it.
Alison at the breakfast table.
The little Christmas tree and the wood stove made for a picture-postcard setting. Too bad I was using the laptop camera instead of a real one to really capture the ambience. Bob lit a fire in the wood stove and it heated the place up instantly. So cozy!

Skating
Alison continues with the skating lessons. I was unsuccessful in capturing a lot of "WOW" moments, but I suppose that becoming a good skater requires a lot of skill-building and drills. Here's evidence of Alison getting down to some not-so-exciting work:

Happy 8th Birthday Alison
Alison turned 8 today and celebrated with a sleepover and an old-fashioned party at home. Alison and several friends played lots of games, made a craft, devoured some ice-cream cake, and had a lot of fun together.
Alison was rather excited about the whole birthday thing.
Happy Birthday, Sweet Girl!
