Christmas in Rossland Dec 1&2/2007

This year Troy and I get to participate in several Christmas events. The first of the year was in Rossland with Dorothy&Dad's family. We arrived Friday night to a snowy Rossland and locals toboganning down the steep streets. Saturday morning Pat/Amanda & Kirah arrived bright and early and everyone got ready and went down to mainstreet for the winter parade. Strangely enough Troy had to admit that the parade was indeed shorter than Kimberley's:). After that we had lunch and came back to the house where everyone began to show up. The evening progressed and it was dinner time:) Shortly after that it was gift exchanges and even more shortly after that everyone began to file out. Wil/Stacey, Ralph/Katie, Dad/Dorothy & Troy/I were the only ones left so we cracked out the crokinole board and had a good time. We woke up on Sunday to a foot of snow and still falling. That made the interesting drive home:). We had a great weekend and Troy made a new friend-Kirah. She cuddle with him tons and helped him with the ratchet in putting together the stools.
