What a way to end!

First of all I must apologize to all my blog followers (like the whole 2 of you that read this, ha ha) for not updating this for the past few weeks.  I will however try to be better and doing regular updates.

Well another year is in the books and it was ended with another holidays season full of blessings.  Dustin and I were very busy with lots of fun family gatherings.  We are so blessed to have so many wonderful people in our lives and were joyed to get to celebrate the holiday season with them all!!

The 19th was spent with my mom's side of the family.  It was our usual loud, busy, fun, food filled get-together.  We had a great time catching up and had lots of laughs over our gift exchange.  The new generation of kids (as my generation still feels like the kids even though most of us have their own kids) got to partake in one of my favorite activities as a kid.  Being pulled on the toboggon by a real powerful, one horse power machine, ha ha  My dad used to pull us behind the horse a lot when we were kids and I loved it.  I'm sure he wasn't pulling the kids as fast as we used to go.  There were 2 horeses and 10 kids

The 24th was spent with my family.  We had a yummy lasagna meal (trying to switch up the usual traditional turkey dinner).  We opened gifts and got spoiled.  Played some games, watched a movie and got ready for Santa with the kids.  I got to read the kids The Christmas Story before they wisked off to bed before being seen by Santa.

After watching the kids open their stocking, we headed to Dustin's parents house to spend some time with his family.  The tree was overflowing with gifts.  We were all spoiled!  Then we headed to his aunt and uncles house in Calgary for a yummy turkey dinner.

The 26th we went to Dustin's aunt and uncles house for the famous Boxing Day party with a bunch of his family and family friends.  It was heaps of fun and I can see why it's something Dustin looks forward to every year.  Dustin took part in the poker game and I enjoyed a copule reall fun games that required blurting out answers.  So of course I was good at that!!  Any game that cane make use of my big mouth is always a good time!!! ha ha

The 27th my mom hosted my Dad's side of the family Christmas.  It was great catching up with everyone that we don't see very often.  And in tradition, we played a game of Scatagories.  It was lots of fun with many laughs.  At one point I thought my mom was going to loose it she was laughing so hard at one of Dustin's answers (it made her blush a bit).

The 28th we got to celebrate my favorite little guy!  Cayden is 7!!  He had a awesome cowboy themed birthday party and was spoiled rotten.

We rang in the new in year in fine style.  We went to a friends place for a Super Hero themed party (which we remembered only that afternoon.  Unfortunetly for me, it takes me a month to be creative.  So I was Super Sport and just wore a sporty outfit with a towel as a cape.  Dustin on the other hand is very creative, even last minute.  He went as Captain Canada.  Our other friends planned ahead and had great costumes.
