Christmas Celebration

This was our second Christmas here in Alberta. Last year we were invited to a family's house to celebrate Christmas with them. Last year, we were by far the youngest people there. It was still a lot of fun as we were out at the ranch. This year we had a few more invitations from other people. It is always hard to say no to someone. But, we decided to go back to the ranch for Christmas.

This year however, their entire family were able to be home for Christmas. It was a really neat experience. Around Christmas time we miss our families in Ontario and in California. We would love to celebrate with them. Since that is not possible, it was really nice to feel as if we were a part of the family for Christmas.

My wife and I said we weren't going to stay too long, because we wanted to have time alone and open our gifts together. Well, we were having such a good time, our plan of not staying long didn't work. We had a really good time and we felt welcomed as if we were a part of their family. What a neat way to celebrate Christmas this year!
