Kicking off the Christmas Break

Tobogganing!!!  Not far from our house is a wonderful hill.  We were going to go yesterday (-20) and instead waited for those Chinook winds we've been hearing about and went today (+2).

Ter kept saying "this is the last run"... not sure how many times we heard that but he kept on going.  

Willow left the house reluctantly but once we got there she was begging to go down, and kept on going again and again.   

Kamo giggled all the way down and as soon as you hit the bottom he was ready to go again - after being dragged up the hill.  

Sundee came up the hill after many runs and said to me "get on my board" and I was hooked as well.

It's only a 5 minute drive to our house and had it been 6 minutes Kamo would have been asleep. It was one of the quietest drives we've had in a long time.

Time for the hot tub.

Morning Walk

Kamo and I went for a short walk this morning to see the beautiful frosty trees and countryside.  

Pretty as a Christmas Card!

Snow Day

The kids are back to school today.

Just had 2 days of blizzard and the roads are still not great but the buses are running.  Bundled them up this morning and off they went.  It's cold out there!

Had a lot of fun.  The days seemed so long- one day Ter was about to put them to bed and it was only 6 o'clock!  There were activities, movies, wii, science projects, baking, decorating... lots of fun stuff.

guess who's section of the tree this was?

Hint:  he also successfully hung up all the train ornaments we had!

Willow and Sundee's creation.
