All In One Day ...

October 29, 2016

It was an early morning for some of the hockey families ...

a few were a little under the weather ... after last night's Halloween party ...

We enjoyed watching James play hockey ... Oma ... Craig and Ella ...

watching from the enclosed warm area ...

Mike ... Nathan and I were out in the arena ... cheering the team on ...

After the hockey game ... we all travelled to Calgary ...

to meet Vern and Ellen for a late lunch ... early dinner ... at the Edelweiss Village ...

It is a complete European store ... with grocery items ... gifts ... deli ... bakery and restaurant ...

We had a lovely time visiting ... and eating the fabulous meals ...

Once we arrived back at the house ...

it was the to have a birthday celebration for James and Craig ...

We decided to celebrate this evening ... as James had an early morning ...

out of town hockey game ...

and our family would not be making the trip back to Alberta ...

James birthday #11 ... is on November 4 ...

and Craig's milestone birthday #13th is on November 24 ...

Both the boys blew out the candles ...

and soon the gift opening was happening ...

Craig received cash ... as he is saving money to buy a remote control truck ...

He was so happy and thankful ...

and James ... all he wanted was a new skateboard ...

 

James was so thrilled ... it was the exact one he wanted ...

he couldn't wait to try it out ...

a few rolls in the house and then we all had a piece of ice cream cake ...

Even though it was almost 10 o'clock ...

the kids went in the garage to compare the new one with the old one ...

they even had me stand on the boards to check it out ... holding on to me so I wouldn't fall ...

and then James went for a ride ...

down the driveway and onto the road ... with no jackets on ...

 

It was a little chilly for me being out there taking pictures ...

so I left the boys out there riding ...

Oma ... Craig and Ella ... were huddled together ...

watching a movie ...

while Mike and I packed things up to head back home ...

James had left early this morning for his hockey game ...

we had said our goodbyes the night before ...

It was a fun ... busy weekend ... again ...
