Family Christmas in Brandon

Every year, Kristine's extended family gathers to celebrate Christmas.  If you got us all together, there would be about 50 of us. That rarely happens, though, because a whole bunch live on the west coast.  With just the Manitoba crew, there is still about 35 and so we are much too large a group for someone's house. For the last couple of years, we have been meeting at a hotel in Brandon for the weekend and it is a nice way to celebrate the season, have some fun and stay in touch with everyone.  Here are some pictures of some of our activities...
We had a sleigh ride on Saturday. It was a pretty cold wind, but fun.


Matthew enjoyed his first sleigh ride. Rachel slept through it.

Matthew's 2nd birthday also fell on this weekend so we got him a cake to celebrate.

He did pretty good blowing out his own candles, with only a little help from Dad.

He had no problem eating it all by himself!

Rachel hanging out with another Auntie Trisha!

Swimming in the hotel pool. Always a good time.
