Snow Much Fun!!

A few weeks ago we got our first big snowfall and there was tons of snow. It was quite warm which made the snow perfect for snowmen and snowballs but we decided to build a ramp off the trampoline instead so the kids could toboggan in our backyard. Cyril and I did most of the work but the kids had such a fun time sliding down. The best part was there wasn't a big hill to climb back up. The neighbor kids even came over to play. We've had tons more snow since then but it is just too cold for them to be out there right now. We are looking forward to warmer weather and the Christmas break so we will have more time to play in the snow!

O Christmas Tree!

Last Monday we put up our Christmas tree and decorated the house. Holton had so much fun putting the ornaments on the tree (even though the next day he UN-decorated half of it)! It was Mateya's turn to put on the star this year with the help of daddy. Jaidyn spent most of the time setting up a few of the nativities we have.

I am so happy to have the house so festive. I love Christmas so much! The girls kept asking when we were going to put up the outdoor lights so even that is done. Now the only thing left is baking ... shopping ... wrapping gifts ... sewing pillowcases ... sending out Christmas cards ...

Dance Exams

The girls had their dance exams this weekend. Jaidyn was too young last year to do her Primary exam with her sister so she did it this year. Mateya did her Grade 1. They both had fun and said it went well...we will find out in about a month.
