New Deck!!

We built a deck in our backyard today. Here is what it looked like before.

Here we are with the frame done.

D was quite a big help. Once he found power tools there was no getting him back to a regular screw driver.

I love this picture. It looks like D is the foreman. hehehe

Here is the finished deck.

Thank you to all the builders that worked so very hard today. Grandad, A, and D.

Hockey Star

D waiting for his skating class.



D likes being the fastest in his class.

Fun with the boys and their new pet dragons

The boys got these great kits a housewarming gift from a friend.

They had a great time painting and putting them together.

Here are their new pets. The cool thing is that they wiggle.

Ps. I will dedicate a blog to our new house really soon.

Family Day Fun!!

D takes his hockey very seriously.

Little A had fun on the toboggan hill.

Snack Time.

And then out for more Skating.

Little A also got on his skates for the first time and skated on his own for a few steps.

D skating!!!

I promised him goalie equipment when he learned to skate forwards. Wonder how long before he reminds me. We had a wonderful time. Thank you!

Winter Fun Update

We took the boys to see the ice sculptures at Winterlude. They were fantastic.



Hockey day in Canada.

D started out playing hockey with me.



But very quickly he handed me the hockey pucks he had brought and told me he was going to play with the boys. He took over the net and that is where he stayed until we left.





Little A had fun on the toboggan hill.



This is the start of our race. Little A won.

Here is the park by our new house!!

New Years with Granny, Grandad and K!

The boys spent the night at Granny and Grandad's for New Years Eve!.

They talked about this slide quite a bit.

Fun in the inside pond.



Face painting for Little A.



Listening to music and watching performances.



Thank you Granny, Grandad and K for a fun evening.
Wishing everyone a Happy New Years!!

Happy Holidays

We went to Taffy Lane again this year to look at all the houses decorated with lights. There were some of D's favorites from last year up again this year, and some new ones this year as well. He was quite excited as you can see.



When we got home, Auntie J said that the boys could open up their present early. Yeah!!! This is them after they had opened their presents. Very happy.

These are Little A's new pajamas from Auntie J and the Bfts.

I put out all the presents that night after D sadly told Auntie J, that he had no presents under his tree.

We went to Granny and Grandad's on Christmas Eve. Here they are in their new Christmas Pajamas.

Christmas Morning!!!!

Warning: Still learning to use video, so it may turn on its side at any moment. hehehe






We went to friends for Christmas dinner. Here are the boys having fun at their house, with one of the girls, K. M was around but missed being in all my pictures with the boys.

Happy Holiday and New Years to all of our family and friends.
