the weekend in photos...!

I know it's Friday, but I really want to post some iphone pictures I took last weekend when my friends were visiting from Ontario! We went to some awesome restaurants we haven't been to yet, went to Banff and Canmore on some hikes and saw some amazing wildlife...including BEARS!*

Craft Beer Market. Over 100 beers on tap!

$2.50 fish tacos

Grassi Lake - Canmore

WURST* Delish German food!

Bratwurst for 2...for 1!

The BOOT!

...the weekend in photos! {and my 26th!}

This past weekend was my 26th! Despite everything happening back home, we decided to head to Banff and try to have an amazing time ringing in my Birthday. The weather was perfect {as usual} we had a delicious meal at the Banff Grizzly House, which is a hilarious 70's swingers club turned fondue restaurant! {nothing has been changed since the 70's which adds to the experience}. We went hot tubing during the super moon, and stoked the fire! A very relaxing birthday weekend! On my actual Birthday...{which was Monday} we made homemade sushi and ate way too many cupcakes!*

Christmas in the Rockies

As I mentioned in older posts, we couldn't afford to fly home for Christmas this year, so we decided to start new traditions! Christmas Eve dinner and Christmas Day in the mountains! This might have possibly been one of the best Christmas's I've ever had! There's nothing more Chrismas like driving into Banff National Park and being greeted by a snow storm, moose and deer all around us and a beautiful chalet with a wood burning fireplace!

Christmas Eve
