the leavitts.

we made it to calgary.

our boys were seriously the best little travelers. [thanks boys!]
it was almost as though they weren't there... like in the good old days when road trips were fun :)

the roads were clear.
we listened to good music.

and the border patrol was easy peasy.

what more could we ask for?
plus, chet was such a funny kid along the way.
a couple good chetty quotes:

[as we are leaving our parking lot in rexburg]
chet: where are we going?
matt: canada!
chet: ...can i stay here?

[eating breakfast at our hotel]
pam: i hate being sick. i want to kill myself.
chet: i'll help you, mom.


if only we didn't arrive to calgary during the coldest week ever!
it. is. cold.

oh my word!
cold weather just makes me so sad.
it drives me nuts when people think that i should like cold weather because i'm canadian.
really?
if anything, i have learned to loathe it more then those dang warm-weather-people can possibly comprehend!

in all honesty, calgary is a great place.
especially because it is home to so many great friends and family :)


we braved the weather to see the nativity pageant at heritage park.
i thought i was going to lose my feet, they were so cold.
but, it's tradition.

and chet thought it was pretty nifty.
he got to pet a donkey and some sheep.
and we even saw llamas!
who knew llamas were part of the nativity?!

umm.. is it really christmas eve tomorrow?
matt and i still haven't got each other anything for christmas!
i'm starting to think it might not happen...
