Christmas

We had a very busy and fun Christmas. We spent the morning with my family and had a morning brunch, then went to Lee's family in the afternoon for an early ham dinner. Our kids got super spoiled from everybody, and maybe Lee and I did a little bit too.

Work Adult Christmas Party

This weekend we went to an adult Christmas party for Lee's firm in Banff. We had the kids stay at Grandma and Papa's house while we went early to spend some more time there. We went and got a couple's massage and then went shopping for a bit before heading to the hotel. The hotel we stayed at was called the Rimrock hotel which was a very nice hotel, we got one of the executive suites which was huge.

In the evening we had a fancy dinner and a dance. It was nice to meet alot of the people Lee works with. It was a weird mix of LDS members and non-members with an open bar. In the morning they had a huge brunch for us before heading out.

Work Christmas Party

Lee's work had there kids Christmas Party last week at C.O.P. They had lunch, crafts, and then at the end Santa came and gave them presents. Both kids were really good with Santa, Zoë was super excited and Dreyton didn't have a problem going straight to him.
The cameraman kept trying to get Dreyton to smile but as soon as Dreyton started smiling he would look at Santa and give a huge smile and then stop and look back at the camera and give a blank look.

Zoë got a pink backpack which held a puppy on the back of it and Dreyton got a circus playmobil set.

This weekend is our adult Christmas party in Banff at the rimrock hotel, i'll post about that afterwards.

Happy Halloween

We went to a stake Halloween party the night before, it was fun until it got way too busy.

Dreyton went as a sheriff

and Zoë was Snow White.

Dreyton playing one of the games

We decided to use a template and not carve a regular jack-o-lantern pumpkin. We did a ghost and Zoë wanted a little bat.



Getting ready for trick or treating. Zoë went as a pink poodle, and Dreyton went as a tiger. I asked Zoë a few weeks before Halloween what she wanted to be and she said she wanted to be a pink puppy. I figured I wouldn't be able to find a warm costume like that so we went looking for something else and I was glad when I did find a pink puppy for her.

Just about to put some make up on before heading out.

I didn't get very many pictures of actual trick or treating, it was hard enough catching up to Zoë.

Happy Canada Day!

Today we had a brunch at our house with family. We had breakfast crepes which was with meat, vegetables and eggs or fruit crepes with whipped cream.

Nana Stanford brought the canadian decorations and toys to make the Canadian day brunch complete.

Lee did most of the cooking, he loves to cook breakfast foods, especially his specialty crepes.

Stanford Easter Hunt

We had a Easter egg hunt just before our Turkey dinner at the Stanfords today.

Dreyton getting the eggs while Daddy held the basket

Zoë getting as much as she could (we had each child take 20 eggs so it would be equal in the end)

cousins Tighe and Dominique getting there eggs

Easter Morning

The Easter Bunny left some baskets hidden around the house for the kids to find this morning.

Getting ready to open there baskets

Zoë not fully awake, I woke her up as it was already 8:30am and she was still sleeping.

They got more presents then candy as they already got a bunch from other Easter activities.

Easter Egg Decorating

We had a family bike ride over to my parents place today to have dinner and decorate Easter eggs.

Great Grandma Sefcik aka G.G. came and helped us do the Easter Eggs.



G.G. was the only one brave enough to help Dreyton do one.

Easter Party

Our community had a Easter Party today. My mom, Dayna, and I took Zoë and Jayden while Dreyton and Drew slept.

Zoë decorating her bag that I think was supposed to carry her other crafts in.

This was a really cute idea, it's a blank puzzle that you can colour or paint your own picture.

About to go hunt for Easter eggs, they were in mid sentence saying Happy Easter.

Happy Anniversary

For our four year anniversary we went to stagewest for a dinner and a play with my parents. The play was called Boeing, Boeing and had a pretty famous guy in the play from honey I shrunk the kids the tv series and some other shows.

Valentines Day

Tonight we had Jenn and Jesse over for a fondue, it was really nice just to have 4 people as we usually do it with a tonne more people. For dessert we made banana splits instead of the traditional chocolate fondue which was really good, i haven't had it in forever. It is so nice to have friends (family) that don't have kids yet so we can get together in the evenings while the kids are sleeping without worrying about babysitters.


I found this picture going through my camera which I thought was cute, Pops chillin' with his grandbabies
