Please go to http://68photography.ca/blog/ and scroll through the pictures until you get to the place where you vote for your favourite. We're the fourth one down and we hope you'll pick us as your favourite. But, if not that's ok too. Their pictures are all awesome. Once you vote, it will say the voting is closed, but don't worry because your vote will have counted! Voting closes December 31st, 2009 so please hurry! Thanks so much everyone!

Happy Birthday Hubby!

It's Leif's 26th birthday today! To celebrate, we went to the Saltlik for a lovely steak dinner topped off with amazing cheesecake! I kept it a secret as far as Crowchild but I don't know exactly how to get there or where to park, so Leif had to be the driver. For his birthday, I bought (or really he bought himself) hockey gloves and I got him batteries for his lego technic gift from his parents. But he has to save that for Fernie! My parents got him a chin-up, push-up, dip, sit-up contraption like Wade and Tara have and I'm just as excited about it as he is!

We both had a good day, with me being officially on Christmas break and with Leif getting to shuffle hangars twice! I went for a massage today and wow can that woman push hard! I'm going to be very sore tomorrow I'm sure, but it's worth it. I also went to see a naturopath in the same clinic and I really like her. I think I'm going to get some good, natural doctoring.

In other news, Oswald now will sit on the rock even if we're moving around him. And both of them are starting to eat better now that we have a heater for the water. The mitts that I'm knitting for Leif would have been done if I hadn't have run out of yarn half way though the last thumb! Grrr. Hopefully Naomi at Heaven Stitch and Design will be able to help me with that on Thursday. http://heavenstitchanddesign.com/home.html

Almost all the presents are wrapped, Leif is packed, and we're ready for the family holidays to begin!

Hooray!
