We headed to Grassy Lake, Alberta for Christmas 2010.  We convoyed with my brother Mitch and my "sis" Chass, and arrived on the 23rd.  Dad and Mom's house was completely remodeled by my brother, Dave, and it was so fun to see all the awesome changes they had made.  It was more awesome though to get to visit with so much family!!
