The horses even got into the spirit!
I love this picture, the guy in the sleigh with us... the smile on his face describes everything about him!
Pretty frost
We warmed up by the fire after the sleigh ride... did I mention it was free?? The fire was right beside the ice rink which the kids loved running on in their boots and playing hockey with some other kids.
Here they are in the theatre with their hot chocolate waiting for the movie Polar Express to start. The theatre is beautiful. There was a 'conductor' all dressed up taking our tickets, there were train shaped cookies to enjoy, they wore their PJ's just like in the movie, and this cute dog was greeting everyone as they came in.
They liked the movie, this was J Man's first ever movie experience and his face was so fun to watch. He got scared at some points and cuddled on me, or we left and took a break. It was such a fun memory. I love Fort Steele, they are so good to kids, as we left the movie, they gave the kids bells to bring home... if you've seen the movie you'll know why.
As we were driving away I marvelled at how beautiful everything looked all covered with snow. Combining our trip out to the bush to get a tree, and having a horse drawn sleigh ride, skating on an outdoor rink, warming ourselves by a fire and watching a movie in an theatre from the 1800's, we live in a pretty cool place. Movie's portray Christmas this way, and we are living it out!
So much fun!!!! Glad we've been able to do some of this with you guys in the past. Great memories. Nana
