It was coming up to that time of year – we desperately needed a Christmas Tree to decorate and make our home look festive, so there was only one thing for it. Time for the Great Annual Christmas Tree Hunt!
We took ourselves off into Forest Service Land in search of the perfect tree (ok we might need to qualify that – perfect in our eyes, that is). So many trees, which one to choose?!
We’ve found it – this is the one. Poor unsuspecting thing had no idea what was in store for it:
Yes, we know it’s rather scraggly but we love it!
Christmas Eve dinner with our friends Maude and Paul – we all chipped in for a full turkey roast dinner with trimmings, yum.
Then on Christmas morning we headed into the hills looking for snow – X-country skiing up at McCullough.
Then a few shots from around in town with the snow –
Neil finds he’s not alone after all with biking up Knox Mountain at the north end of downtown.
A family outing to the beach – the winter version.
Kelowna has many, many orchards that provide beautiful colour and even more beautiful fruit in summer – a slightly different look in winter.

The century old Thompson Farm and its lovely old barn – this farm and wetland is five minutes walk from our place and is a great spot for a wander, a run, or some bird watching any time of year.
