For the November long weekend, the Patrick Sisters got together for our Annual Retreat in Canmore. We stayed at an awesome hotel, and had a fun, relaxing weekend. It was awesome!
At the end of November, we had the opportunity to go up to Whitehorse to meet Trevor's Granny Nevin. She is Bumpa's Mom. It was a really nice trip. She is a great lady. She seemed to really love Tyler and he liked her as well!
Tyler loves to cover his arms with his own "Tats", drawn by himself with his washable markers!
Building a snow fort with Dad. The neighborhood kids demolished it twice in one day, so they gave up.
On December 13th, Tyler got his Tonsils and Adenoids removed. He was a very brave kid. The next couple of weeks were pretty hard. He cried a lot because he couldn't eat, but was pretty good. He had an especially hard time at night. It was almost like having a newborn again. He would wake up screaming every couple of hours, then be back asleep within 10 minutes or so. I think he was having bad dreams about the whole experience. He is doing great now and is completely back to normal. Hopefully this will have some affect on his asthma problems!
We went down to Welling for Christmas this year. It was pretty low key. It was just TIff's family, Steve's family, Mom and Dad, and us. We did some crafts for the kids on Christmas Eve, and then just hung out. It was a nice visit as usual.
While we were there, we decided to drive up to Waterton on Christmas Eve and spend a couple hours playing around. It was really fun. The town was basically empty. We had a great time.
Our attempt at a more recent family photo.
Great year in review. Glad Tyler is doing well, and loved having you home for Christmas! Love Dad.
