Mum and I on Christmas Eve
Hans and Mark cooking Christmas dinnerThis year Hans and I went to Calgary for Christmas. We had such a great time!! On Christmas Eve my mom told me that we were having Spaghetti for dinner. Little did she know that spaghetti is my favorite meal...turns out it is hers too!! I think we are going to make this a new tradition in our family. We opened all our presents Christmas Eve (German style) so Hans would feel at home. Then we drove down to Medicine Hat to spend time with Mark's (my step-dad) family. We got to do some boxing day shopping and I got a new pair of cowboy boots...compliments of Alann. I got to see my B.F.F. Melanie and her boyfriend Mark and remember the "good ol' days"...like when we used to watch Charlotte's Web every single day. hahaha. For Christmas she gave me a picture of her and I when we were 4 years old on Santa's lap. What a treasure! Hans went skiing for the first time and he loved it...well he was a little frustrated in the morning but by the end of the day he was rockin it. We went to a ski hill in B.C. and were so happy to find out when we got there that they had just recieved a big dump of snow. The conditions were perfect!! By the end of the day I was making Mark go down some pretty tough slopes (hey I learned that from my brothers). We also went 4-Wheeling and riding my mom's horse at her ranch. It was so nice not having a T.V. for a week and a half. I did not miss it at all. There is so much to do on a ranch. Hans loved feeding the horses and taking my mom's two dogs for their morning walks. After this trip Hans said he wants to start running....I think it is from all the fresh air. Hans and I hope you all have a wonderful New Year!!
