My mom came in Thursday evening after a long day in the airport and on the plane. We gave her a quick tour of the house and had a pretty early night. On Friday we got up early and headed to the Farmer's Market. We bought some potatoes, peas and some different types of cheeses. Then we headed to Pho, a vietnemese restauraunt, for some delicious noodle bowls. It was pretty nice outside, so we spent a lot of time on the front porch enjoying the heat. We had steak and caesar potato salad for dinner...soooo good! Saturday it ended up being 30 degrees outside. Mike made breakfast and then we headed out to IKEA. After IKEA we went for a drive downtown to show her all the neat places. We spent a lot of time outside as well. We laughed our heads off listening to the icecream truck which was playing Christmas music! :) Mike made us a delicious risotto for dinner. Sunday morning we headed out to Banff after an early breakfast at Ricky's. It was very busy and very very hot! We went up the Gondola and took some great pictures from the top. Then we walked around to look in the shops. We ended up eating at the Grizzly House...one of our favourite restaurants. It is a fondue place and it is fantastic! After dinner we stopped by the Candy Shop and then headed for home. When we got home we had a fire, which didn't last long because it started to rain. Monday and Tuesday we spent most of the day at home because of the cold, rainy weather. Mom is cooking a roast and also making buttertarts...mmmm. I am sure going to hate to see her go tomorrow morning. Anyways, here are a few pictures from the last few days. Enjoy!
One more week and the rest of the family will be down!
