The whole family headed out to the cottage for Christmas. We brought my Mom along for a visit for a couple of days. Road conditions were not great on the drive out. There were several accidents on the highway outside of Edmonton, and lots of cars in the ditch. We were delayed for over an hour as traffic got detoured around one of the accidents. We finally arrived at the cottage, after dark, on December 23rd. The highways were snow covered in places, icy in others, and it was foggy and snowing along the way. But we eventually made it.
After we arrived we had a quick dinner of pasta, and then set up the Christmas Tree. I had cut a rather scruffy looking ditch spruce last time I was out at the cottage. We brought it in, put it in the tree stand, and the three girls had fun decorating it. It was kind of a Charlie Brown Christmas Tree and the girls scoffed at me for my selection. It was Anna's turn to put the star on top, and when she did, it promptly flopped over.
This will be the only Christmas that all three of the girls will be teenagers. Helena is 13, Annelise is 16, and Hailey is 19.
