Our wonderful fire......



Our lovely fier pit that is the centre of many many wonderful times :) All the stones around the fire are ones we found amongst all the trees or lying about on our acreage :)

A few more frosty images......



Gingerbread house decorating...









On Christmas Eve, the children had their annual contest to decorate a gingerbread house......Sam decorated the gingerbread men to go by each house......Abigail and Christopher competed against Susannah and Laurence!

Last Sunday...









A few pictures from last Sunday, when my wonderful friend Samantha came over for the evening with her family. It was so much fun - a highlight of my Christmas! As you can see, we made quite a mess while scrapbooking her Moms special album!

Going.....going......






GONE!!! Chris jumping on the frost/ snow covered trampoline yesterday!

weekend news.....

Not much to report...we continue to enjoy relaxing at home...sledding...the fire pit...so nice having Lloyd home from work for so long!

Laurie slept at the twins house last night and called to ask if he could stay again tonight......so we just ran in to Costco to get some dog food and I stopped in at Michaels to buy a rotary cutter as I had a coupn that had to be used by Monday. I saw a book on quilted postcards and so I want to make a few of those too - didn't bother wth the book as I will read onine instead!

Yesterday Lloyd and I went out for brunch which was a lovely chance to just be alone together without the children - it's been a few weeks really since we've done that without focusing on the children/ Christmas shopping....we took our time and enjoyed the peace :)

Tonight we are off to a party in town - which starts with a games night - including 'snakes and shooters' and 80's Trivial Pursuits......which should be interesting!!! And its adults ony woohoo :) I said I'd drive so Lloyd can drink :)

Thats all for now - oh and thank you Jennifer for your emails - they made me laugh so much :)
