Old Year's

 The kids went for a pony drawn sled ride with Knight.

 Feliz added our guinea pig count temporarily to 3 while we watched him.

 There was just enough snow to ski in Bragg creek.

on the way to Lacombe

 We enjoyed another Christmas with Grandma Jan and family.

Christmas time

 The kids' Christmas concert brought tears to my eyes. So many small voices singing of hope.

Zoe's birthday

 Everett and Uncle Patrick hang out while the big kids paint.

 After a nice family dinner out we took in the Christmas lights in Airdrie.

Skate with Santa

 This year's U of C Alumni Skate with Santa included face painting and crafts and even Mrs. Claus.

We ended up staying for the dinos basketball games too.

Stamps and horses

Kaya was super patient in the arena and decided to make a horse of her own to ride in the wood shavings.

 We went to a Stamps game.

 I painted my first watercolor of a street in France for Bille.

Miss Sonja and I went for a walk.

The happiest day of Kaya's life

 The kids adopted Cookie and Fudge from the SPCA. Kaya says it is the happiest day of her life.

 Patrick and I stayed up until midnight building a cage.

 Cookie poses for a mug shot.

Fudge stares down the camera.

November

 I enjoyed an evening in Canmore and taught yoga in Banff.

 Adlai and cousins.

Fezzik, Inigo, the Dread Pirate Roberts and... Captain America

 Halloween was fun this year.

Patrick also had just returned from a short visit with baby Ginny.
