Family, Christmas 08

Christmas this year was quiet, but nice... I came down with pneumonia for the first time, so I was not not feeling well for a long time... After 2 cycles of antibiotics I finally recovered! The kids were happy so I was happy :)

Woohoo, Santa came!!! :)

The stocking's have always been the kids' favorite's!

Still waking up, lol!

"Reading" a new book! Llama Mama...

She LOVED her doll house!

Catriona and "bubby" playing connect four :)

Yay, snow angels!Aw, she is an angel...

Camden Snowbowl fun!!!

This was the funnest family day ever! We went tubbing and tobogganing for Richard's birthday and had a blast! http://www.camdensnowbowl.com/

Getting ready...

WooHoo!

Mommyyyyy! *She went down backwards the whole way, LOL! Poor Nicole! hehe

Ok, now it's my turn...

...and I went down backwards the whole way too! LOL

Daddy and Catriona's turn!

It was a success, she loved it! So did Richard!

Ok, do you SEE that drop! Yikes! It actually drops down once your on the sled... Down comes Richard, Kurtis and Nicole! hehe

If you click on this picture to enlarge it, look at their faces, especially Nicole's! hehe too funny! It was so fun doing this! What a rush!

The toboggan went all the way out to the frozen lake!

This was Nicole (I made her be first! She loved it even though she screaming her head off, lol!), Kurtis and me, I was so scared I hid behind my kids, haha! I don't even go on roller coasters! But honestly this seemed safer somehow :)

After this we all went to dinner at McMillan's in Camden, it was a very nice way to end our day together.... We don't always get to do this stuff, but we're making more time for it now...

I can't wait for our next outing together :)

Off to find our Charlie Brown Christmas tree!

Thus begins our outing to get our Christmas tree... These are Richard's co-workers' work horses, they are truly grand beasts! Whoops, don't get your fingers too close, the're looking for a snack to nibble on!!! hehe

Oooh, it's just not often enough I can get them all "still" enough for a photo together, these days!

Oooop, down she goes! Nicole just isn't the outdoorsy type! lol
Yes, Catriona was warmer than all of us! lol

Are we there yet?
Not that tree, Kurtis! As all the snow came falling on top of him! lol
How about this one? Perfect, son!
Oooo, BEAR! (just kidding) hehe
Kurtis sawing down his first Christmas tree!
Tiiiimberrrrr! Look out Catriona! :)
Daddy, where did everyone go??? lolOn our way back... What a beautiful 100 acre farm!

A mix of pictures of my kids

Look at the eye contact between Catriona and the horse...

Easter love... Follow the leader...
