Christmas time is here!

And I really can't think of any time of year that is more exciting for me!

...one more month until Christmas day!

Downtown Calgary hasn't seen snow all month, and to say that I am ready for snow falls, fireplaces, christmas trees and baileys in my hot chocolate is an understatement! I was going to put up our christmas tree today... but then Mike and I remembered that we got rid of our artificial tree last year. It was quite the challenge to assemble, and we thought we would get a new one this year. Since we won't be in our apartment for most of the Christmas season, we thought we might as well decorate everything ELSE. Hopefully that time will be tonight if I can stop searching for Christmas music on the web, and could get some actual work done!4 more weddings to edit and then I will be all caught up! That is going to be a very sweet moment, and just in time for a relaxing holiday with the family on Vancouver island! Woo hoo!!

A couple of weeks ago, a bunch of friends gathered in Banff to celebrate Kevin & Ashley's anniversary! We had a delicious dinner at the Keg (thank-you gift cards!) and then enjoyed some blueberry tea and scotch in the Rundle room at the Banff Springs. The Fairmont was beautifully decorated and was sure to get this girl in the mood for the holidays.

Ashley and all the guys on her anniversary. Ow OW!








Carina hates having the camera in her face... so we try to put it in her face for OBVIOUS reasons. She is GOOORGEOUS!




Ah yes... very regal. Haha... my husband thinks it's hilarious



These are the love birds celebrating their anniversary. They had their wedding in Banff three years ago at Buffalo Mountain Lodge and it was AMAZING. (because Banff+weddings=awesome.)



the camera caught Carina as she "pretends" to pose for a photo.





Kevin and Ash, we hope that you guys have a great year together! There is SO MUCH to look forward to in 2010. Watching your puppy (that you get in 3 DAYS!!) grow into a really really big puppy... and not having to move back to England are just two amazing things I can think of!! Congratulations to you both!
