Well they gave it a good try but the Saskatchewan Roughriders lost again this year to the Montreal Allouettes. Ed was so sad last night, but not sad enough to open the whiskey bottle. I wonder how long it will take before the Riders win the Grey Cup so Ed can open his whiskey.
We were all ready for the game!
We had supper at the coffee table, wings, quiches, meatballs and pop! So much fun.
Look at my girl! She only started at the middle of September and I think that she is doing fantastic! The ones without the teddy bears have been doing it for a couple of years and the teddy bear kids are new this year. I think they totally stole the show!
We stayed for a bit afterward to have a look at the Festival of Trees. It was fun but a bit abbreviated this year as we had to go to supper to see my aunt and uncle and my parents and then we hockey tickets that night. We did the important things:
This is the beginning of the Christmas season to me! I am totally ready to start decorating, shopping and wrapping!
Every month at our school they give out awards to the children that best exemplify the virtue of that month. This month’s virtue was Wisdom and both of my kids were chosen. Ask us how proud we were!

Isla didn’t know that she was getting the award but she thought that she probably was. She asked me if she was going to get one and I got this stupid grin on my face. I am not so good at keeping secrets like this, I get too excited. You may want to play poker with me though, I think that I could be an easy mark!
Then it was Adam’s turn. The school was dressed up today for career day. Adam would like to be a police man when he grows up so we dressed him up the best we could.
I love these two! So proud!
On our way home from Canmore we stopped at Bass Pro Shops for a tour around. Isla really wanted to see the fish tank again and see all of the animals. Santa happened to be there so we took advantage of the short line up. They look so big! How did this happen?
My beautiful girl. We had our pictures taken a few weeks ago and I got this kilt ready for her to get her pictures taken. Ok, maybe my mom did, she hemmed the kilt, I just took it to the cleaners to get it pressed. And she also made the blouse, I just put the buttons on her vest. Well anyway, I think that she looks so awesome! It sure brings back memories, this kilt, dance shoes, getting hair done, nervous energy. I forgot how much I loved this!
Isla is so excited, tomorrow she gets to dance at the Festival of Trees. She is going to have quite the entourage, Grandma and Grandpa, and our friends and us will all be there to watch her. She is dancing with a Teddy Bear and gets to yell Merry Christmas. She is thrilled!
Here is my group picture! We are all having a great time dancing together and I may even be getting a bit fitter in the process.
