Edmonton - Grandchild fun

Edmonton was kind to me again with sunny weather between -5 and +5. Very, very icy though so I didn't do much walking. Aimee had finished at the RCMP and was starting at Ikea so had most of the week off and we spent almost every day Christmas shopping.
Poor Iggy had a skin irritation and had to wear "the cone of shame" which made cuddling him quite a challenge and he is a cuddler.
They showed off their Halloween costumes. Avery as a dinosaur skeleton
and Maya as a swan. Photos by Aimee.
Maya has hit "the terrible twos"
now she's a bit of a "drama queen"
and quite the ham.
It is still difficult to get a picture of Avery that isn't a bit blurry
he is constantly in motion.
While I was there I made Maya a felt Christmas stocking. Now everyone in the family has one. A tradition started by George's mum.

With the leftover yarn,  I made her doll a blanket.
All she wants for Christmas is a baby doll. So, of course, I got her one. Avery just wants a Robot Dinosaur (he will be getting one from Santa)
Family fun at The Rec Room, a huge arcade centre. Too crowded and noisy for me but the kids  (both generations) love it.
These last photos are all taken by Aimee on the family vacation to Las Vegas and Disney, California, last summer.
They drove down; 4 adults and 2 kids in 1 car.
Stopped in Vegas on the way.
Even Aimee has a hard time getting a picture with out Avery "blurring".
Where as Maya is quite happy to lounge.
I am told she was happy that Daddy bought her a large package of M&Ms but she doesn't look like it.
Hopefully they will get to Long Point Beach
next summer.
