So starting Friday, the weather up here in Edmonton turned a bit nasty. It snowed all day, then factor in winds causing drifts everywhere, it created for some interesting driving (I almost got stuck on the roads a couple times and that doesn't factor in the parking lots. Those are a whole other beast themselves.)
This is what it looked like just outside my apartment door, about 20 - 25 cm fell (8 - 10 inches) so not the 2 feet like Jamie, but we got snow on the ground, now the temperature has dropped and we're once again wondering why we live in Edmonton.... :-S
But to really kick off the Christmas season Bailey and I once again participated in the Festival of Trees to support the University of Alberta Hospital Foundation. Here's some of the fun we had this year.
First stop, a visit with Santa
This year was the 25th anniversary of The Festival of Trees and all kids got these bags to decorate and keep
The traditional mini tree decorating
One of the many decorated cakes/gingerbread houses (this ones a cake) on display for judging. This one won gold in the pro decorating category, and it's from the gluten-free bakery Kinnikinnick, so it holds a special place in my heart.
Bailey practicing her stitching technique, the patient should heal well
Bailey a little worse for wear after a visit to the "Hospital"
Time to go home, we had a ton fun and hope that all of you have a ton of fun this christmas season too.so finally, Merry Christmas to all, and to all, a good night!
