Didsbury Christmas

We left Abbotsford on the 20th and flew to Nana & Papa's.  It was fun to have the entire family together for almost a week!

The first morning we were there Uncle Nathan wanted to boys to open their gift - it actually was fun - that way they all got to enjoy it together!

Helping Papa finish off the set.

B didn't know what to think of all the snow gear!

Sledding!




Javanese meal - a Morgan Tradition!

Puzzling - this was a very cool puzzle - the pieces were large on top and got progressively smaller towards the bottom of the puzzle - that way the kids could help - Sully did the top and we worked on the bottom half.

Puzzle #2

Celebrating Auntie Caitlin's Birthday!

Nana & Papa had a date night with the boys and the rest of us headed out to celebrate Caitlin.  We started with mani/pedi's, a little shopping, and dinner and a show at the Rosebud Theatre!

Enjoying the snow!


Pond hockey!


We actually opened presents on the night of the 23rd - just worked best so that we could take our time and not be rushed in the process :)

Reading Christmas stories with Papa.

Present time!



Branson and Nathan were highly entertained with the wrapping paper!

While we were there we got a HUGE dump of snow overnight.  Sully had a great time in the morning shoveling with Papa!

SO MUCH SNOW!
