Pretty cool experience to go to the Flames Heritage Classic game in Regina with my Calgary cousins and our dads.
It’s not quite “National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation” level decorating and I really should’ve gotten my butt up a ladder and extended the lights in that cedar tree in the front of our house right to the top.
