We had a lovely Christmas in Kamloops this year. My younger sister, Kelsey, was kind enough to host 8 of us for a few days.

We had a somewhat traditional Ukrainian Christmas Eve dinner, with gluten-free and vegan dishes.

On Christmas morning we opened our presents, which we limited to simple stocking stuffers.

The weather in Kamloops was perfect (other than the freezing rain on Boxing Day). We took advantage of the snow and mild temperatures, with lots of time spent snowshoeing at Lac Le Jeune and x-country skiing at Harper Mountain.

We also spent time inside relaxing and playing a lot of board games (Carcassonne, Ticket to Ride, King of Tokyo, Love Letter, and Upwords).

We also hosted some of Emily’s family for brunch a few days before Christmas.
