Go Flames Go!!

Dave got last minute tickets to the Flames game tonight through a friend from his hockey team--it was fun to get in the spirit again, although we realized that we must be pretty tame fans, as we were surrounded by a super-fan in front, waving a flag between every play (and during some plays!) and an overly verbal fan behind us, who seemed very unhappy the entire game (Come ONN boys!!!) despite their 3-0 win over the Colorado Avalanche...

Down in front!!! (Superfan...)

Getting Hallowe'en-y...

I've been getting "crafty" lately, with the help of my "stamping/card-making" group, and a few trips to "Michaels". We've really gotten into the Hallowe'en/Harvest spirit this year, but unfortunately won't be around to hand out candy, as we will be in Toronto for Karen and Blair's wedding. I've had to compensate by making little "treat bags" for the kiddos at Providence, and decorating a bit around the house...

Candy baskets we made at stamp-club: with the help of a die-cutting tool and some fun stamps...

A nice fall day down by the river near our house (last weekend)

Window/door decorations... (Thought Andrea would appreciate these ones!)

"Turkey: Part II"

We had the gang over for a Turkey dinner last night: a belated "Thanksgiving" for those who were out of town a few weeks ago, and a chance to celebrate with the friends who have become like our surrogate "family" here in Calgary. Everyone brought delicious dishes, and we are now enjoying delicious leftovers! Thanks to everyone who was able to join us (Shandra, Tannis & Steve, Jen & Tom, Sean & Lauren, Crystal & Marc)...Yum!

For "Mrs. Jackson"...

(Thought you'd appreciate this, Mom...)

Happy Thanksgiving!

Hope you are enjoying a wonderful Thanksgiving with family and friends!

I think this is the time of year when I am most sentimental (and homesick!), as I've always grown up spending Thanksgiving with our family, going on "fall hikes", cooking together and just generally being thankful and happy to be spending time together.

I definitely miss this time, but we have been lucky enough to be invited to our "in-law-in-laws" Brian and Kris (my sister-in-law Janet's brother and his wife) for Thanksgiving dinner tonight--mmm: turkey!

Here are a few photos of Mom and Dad Jackson's recent trip to Algonquin park: hiking through the gorgeous fall colours! (I miss that too!!).

Happy Thanksgiving!

Canmore

Sean and Lauren

Shandra and Harman invited us to Canmore for the weekend to celebrate Harman's birthday (early), and to enjoy some fall biking and hot-tubbing! Thanks for a great weekend guys!
