The Hockey Tournament and Bonfire

Mekhi and Kaden played hockey with the adults. Ireland played goalie with Stephanie. Cory said "Emma is an amazing hockey player." Hilary took the kids for rides on the quad. Keana saw the entire party from Megan's back and Amanda's back and was as good as gold. Dawson fell asleep briefly and almost had a bed in a sled. Brandee rescued kids tumbling from rock cliffs and snowball fights in the dark
Me, Clinton, Matt, Cameron and David hauled brush from one pile to the bonfire.
Siobhan, Me, Stephanie, Amanda, Pam, Cory, Cameron, David helped the little kids play hockey, or was it the other way around. Regardless, we made two great teams.   Megan, Brandee, Dereck, Hilary and Dawson cheered from the sidelines.



Ryan and Candice lit Asian Lanterns and set them free in the night sky to drift until the little fires burned out.
And Megan said "I love you and thank u for organizing such an amazing Christmas!!!"

Merry Christmas and thanks to everyone who has helped to make this a perfect Christmas these past few days… and Christmas hasn't even arrived yet.  It is so nice having all my family and my friends around this year.  You are all "THE BEST!"

That's one wicked bon fire and those Asian lanterns, where did they ever get those and how do they work?
