Merry green Christmas!

It’s infrequent for our Christmas to be white in these parts. The weatherman is promising that our Christmas Day and at least into the next two weeks are going to be above freezing, even during the nights. To get a peek at snow we only have to look to the beautiful mountains surrounding us as they are all crowned with white, which is as it should be. We are, at last, starting to relax this Christmas Eve after a busy day of preparing for the celebration. The giant, perfectly cooked turkey just came out of the oven and I’ll carve it up as the last chore of the day. Tomorrow will be low-key and restful. It is Christmas at last. Merry Christmas to all!

Its that time of year

It is that time of year. Our Christmas tradition is that the youngest kids help decorate our tree. As always, they like to do it in record time. Henry insisted on unfolding and assembling the tree. He’s now old and big enough to pretty much do it on his own, with a little help from grampa. While he did that Juniper was scoping out the decorations with grandma. After the lights were checked out the tinsel garlands were next. Henry raced around the tree multiple times with Juniper and grampa in tow , doing our best to keep things from being totally tangled. Juniper and Henry had picked out six small boxes of handmade ornaments which they then carefully hung on the tree. As they worked we talked about who made each piece. There are almost fifty years of memories on our tree. Then it was time to put the angel on the top… a task done by both kids to keep things totally fair. As quick as that we were ready for Christmas 2023.

Magic on on top of our magic

We are always delighted to work with our clients on projects. We do what we do and then our clients add their skills and talents to make our projects even better. NEB’s Fun World is definitely this kind of partner. We laboured on the features this past year and then gave them a hand to assemble them on-site. Since then they have been working hard to transform these bare features into three wonderful world-class mini golfs. They aren’t content to do things like everyone else and are taking it all to the next level. They are breaking new ground by adding electronic entry systems, automatic ball dispensers, semi-automatic scoring systems and special effects including specialty lighting, sound and smoke effects. They sent us a quick video that shows a small sample of this amazing wizardry which will provide their guests with an unforgettable experience like no other. It is great to work with a partner who can add this kind of magic!
