Family Photos..

Good Morning all...How are you all this fine and dandy day!..We are good here in the north....We are in for ALOT of snow today up to 20 cms and then some...But it is a little milder which is really nice...We got our family pictures taken a week ago and it went fairly good....For a two and a half and four and a half year old to sit still and smile...Well our family pic Owen decided not to smile...But that was the best one to pick from...He did smile at first when we were taking pictures of just him and Jesse but I guess that was it for the smiles...lol...Here are a few pics from our photo shoot....

Our family photo ...As I said Owen was not smiling but everyone else was smiling and looking....:)) He was smiling here...Saying cheese as well.... My handsome Jesse....I think so but I am bias....:))) My two other handsome dudes...:))))) Two big smiling boys....So yes Owen did smile just not for the family one....:)))

Chistmas visiting and preperations....

Good Evening all...It is a cool - 16 tonight and going down to -21 overnight....Good ice making weather ...Says my hubby....Can you tell he is a true blue ice fisherman...My husbands favourite season!!!!!! ....Well we were in Southern Ontario this past weekend for the Dehaan family Christmas ...It was a great evening and really nice to see everyone...We also had a few other gatherings with family and friends...Was a great weekend had by all...The kids really enjoyed playing with their cousins...It was a busy week with Christmas parties and Jesse's last day of school...I volunteered at Jesse's school this past Wednesday...I had a lot of fun...There is about 16 children in his JK class..Well I can say that I will never complain about having to get 2 children ready to go outside to play in the winter...Getting 16 children ready is a challenge in itself...For 20 minutes of outside time...lol...Those teachers and helpers have their work cut out for them...lol...But yes we had a great day ...We baked cookies with the children and they decorated them...I am hoping to volunteer every Wednesday ...I am looking forward to working with the children and spending some time with Jesse in the classroom...He is now off for two weeks for the holidays...It will be nice to do some things with the kids over the holidays...We are getting some company up for New Years ...I am looking very forward to that...And we are not too busy otherwise...A little visiting here and there but we are just looking forward to some time together as a family...Daddy has some time off over the holidays...Well hope that you are all doing well and until next time.....

Getting Our Christmas Tree

Good Evening all ...It was a crisp - 10 here today and a little colder with the wind...We went to Trout Creek today to get our Christmas tree...There is a farm there...They have a really nice set up...With sleigh rides and toboggans for the kids and a big campfire and hot chocolate...It was really cold so we did not stay too long but we got our tree and went for a sleigh ride....Jesse just loved it...Owen was just not too sure especially with those big ol horsies...lol...They were Clydesdale's....Just beautiful horses...It was a very nice time....Jacob our friends son came with us as well...Here is a few pics...

We found a tree...Will is just going to cut it down...The snow is really deep as you can see ...You had to remember that when looking at the trees....The trees were a foot or so taller than appeared....lol...Jacob (Santa) and Jesse with a funny hat...They had a old antique sleigh set up with a bunch of funny hats to put on for picture taking....This is before we went for a sleigh ride around the farm...Owie was not too sure of that big ol horsie...lol...Was a really fun time...Looking forward to decorating it now....Brought it in and set it up ...Such a wonderful smell...Just love it....Well have a great rest of the weekend and until next time....
