Day 19 Christmas Eve

Today is Christmas Eve already, can't believe it!!!!
We got up and Raven & I went shopping on 17th avenue while Denny & Skye went to the mall and swimming in the pool, Kyle took a little time to relax on his own in the room.
Eric met up with us for Christmas Eve dinner which was supposed to be Vietnamese Village but they closed early so to the kids delight we went to MacDonalds (we had subway).
Came back to the room for a glass of wine and a swim in the pool. Got cookies for Santa delivered to the room and ordered room service, banana splits for the kids and fresh fruit sorbet for us while we watched Shrek and got ready to wait for Santa!

Day 18

We spent the day in Calgary today. Ate at a yummy restaurant for brunch; Milestones. Then caught a bus to Inglewood for a little street shopping. Eric picked us up and we headed out to Village Square for some waterslide, wave pool & hot tub fun.
We spent the rest of the evening at Eric's, making shortbread cookies, decorating gingerbread houses and eating Vern's pizza. Eric also spent some teaching the kids to solve the rubix cube. Got back to the Palliser just before midnight.

Day 17

Woke up in banff and went downtown one last time to see Skyes favorite store and pick up a couple banff souvenirs.
Jumped back on a brewster bus to take us back to Calgary. I have to say I felt really sad seeing the mountains behind me. I love love love the mountains.
We arrived at the Palliser hotel and wow, what a gigantic room we have! Very very nice! We went to the mall for a bite to eat and to pick up a little tree at the dollar store and some decorations for our room, went back to decorate and wrap presents. Looking and feeling much more festive now!
We got together with Eric for a whacky trip to the Walmart to pick up gingerbread house making stuff for tomorrow. Was a great relaxed day!
