Trip to Calgary
A couple weeks ago we flew to Calgary. We had claimed Annabel on our U.S. taxes, but I guess they didn't believe she existed. I tried to refer them to this blog as proof, but it didn't fly. We weren't terribly excited about spending the money for travel there, but we still came out ahead with the amount the government wanted if Annabel was a fake. Calgary is the closet U.S consulate in Western Canada, so we had to travel there to get her a social security number. It is about a 6 hour drive, but quite unpredictable in the winter. It would be similar to traveling from Wisconsin to Nebraska, but by taking the back roads. It was Eric's birthday weekend, so we celebrated.

| The chair was 49.99. They wanted 169.99 for the baby. We went with the baby. |

| We ate at a little hamburger place that was featured on You Gotta Eat Here (Canada's version of Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives). Eric would never pass up a burger for his birthday. |
Christmas
Festival of Trees in Saskatoon. Annabel was in awe of the little girl Irish Dancers. One lady pointed up at Annabel and said "look, she is mesmerized!"
 |
| The Festival of Trees is at the Western Development museum that has a ton of neat displays. She liked these horses until they neighed at her and she went a running! |
