January Skiing

This was Super Fun, first ski of the year!

But, why oh why do my kids have to grow up so fast??? 

The girls took off so fast it was hard to keep up with them! 

Shane was trailing the little girls and tried hard but 

they are speed demons on skis this year! 

 Ms. V tried hard but was soon just frustrated. 

Good thing it's a big sled!

I was happy to stay behind with Mr. T for most of the time. 

 

Okay so we got a Wii this year for the kids,

Mr. T was immediately trying to do jumps and 

tricks like one of the games. 

It was awesome! 

Have I mentioned how much I enjoy being the caboose?

Oh and I was trying out a new coat from my mom!

It's amazing! Thanks MOM!

 

About half way around the loop the girls thought they might 

try a different part of the trail and ski a little longer.

Then they decided it was just better to head back 

to the van with all the rest of us. 

 

Dad to the rescue!

 

  

These girls were definitely ready for 

some lunch and a warm van. 

 

  

There were loads of sandwiches,

 

and Ms. C loved roaming around in the back seat!

 

 

These kids and their cute shenanigans!

 

 

So grateful we get to do this as a family!

tree cutting!!

My men and their trees!

Shane took Mr. T again to get a tree.

McLean Creek looked so pretty!

He picked a wild one.

 

Haha it was so FAT!

 

But we trimmed it up and it was just right!

Live trees are always more work but

it is always worth it!

 

Family time at it's best!

Thanksgiving 2017

Thanksgiving!!

We always love coming home for 

Thanksgiving!

Grandma Cathy is always to nice 

to let us crash at her place!

Cousin Odie was super nice to share her 

slime making talent with the big girls!

Grandma Cathy always works so hard to 

make Thanksgiving Dinner special!

 

The Kids Loved Piling on top of Uncle Riley

with their cousins!

 

 Almost sleepy time!

This girl always loves her couches!

 

 

Mr. T loves to cuddle with Ms. C 

first thing in the morning! 

Grandma Websters Thanksgiving 

was full of games and art! 

Naps are always awesome.

 

Checkers with Grandpa Webster!

 

This girl Adores her Grandpa!!!

 

We're so grateful we have so many Aunties 

who love our family!

Ms. A's Birthday

Many Posts to come but the most important FIRST!!

MY BABY TURNS THREE!!


What a wonderful party - all the rushing and miscommunications aside!!

Rainbows everywhere, Rainbows in the windows, Rainbow flowers all around,

Rainbow bracelets,

Completely failed (but fun) Rainbow Cake Pops,


So much family and good times!!

Ms E especially enjoyed the cake pops!

And finally gave grandpa his fondest wish -
uninterrupted smiles and giggles just for him!!

What a lovely afternoon - I even faked pretty good that I wasn't that sick!!

Mom came and saved me the next day I was dead on my feet -
and in desperate need of the nap she gave me!!

Why I am bored!!!

Today I hit the Wall!!!

I had NO IDEA what to do with myself!

(which means i should have been playing with my kiddo's
but for some reason today that wasn't enough!!)

Here's why

CHRISTMAS

As explained in my last post I have had a lot of projects on my plate this Christmas
and some of them are more time consuming than others!!
(Don't Worry there are plenty of pictures)

Here's the point!!
Its all over and now I have no pressure
(disregarding ms a's birthday which is soon approaching!)

Now let the photos roll and you might understand!!

Starting with Ms E proof Ornaments
(small fabric squares on the bottom 1/3 of the tree)
Next was the Incredible amount of sanding, painting and
hammering required for my mom's quilt rack!!
Ms A is such a good helper!!


Next was the Quilted Table Runner for my Mother in law
(My first attempt at quilting on my fabulous sewing machine!)


Then there was the Enormous quilt for my Brother and Sister in law!!


This huge thing was just over 9 feet square!! It took over my house!!
Also in the mix was Ms A's Felt food
After all that there were several Items that were not caught in pictures!!

Puppets for ms E and cousin Zac, 12 preplanned date nights for Shane,
a book of quilts for my sister, date blocks for my brother and sister in law,
and a pile of kits for parties that got sent out east
to wonderful neice and nephew there and one science kit for Levi.

Oh and did I mention Two separate baking days!!

So needless to say I was ridiculously preoccupied
during December and now its WHAT TO DO??

Good thing my mother in law is whisking me away
to Calgary tomorrow without the kiddo's to see
Beauty and the Beast!!
I won't have to think about it till the first now!

I get to have a nice relaxing new years!!
With a bottle of fake bubbly and cream cheese and crackers
under a blanket reading good books and watching
Shane play the play station
(ok so I'll probably play too!!)

See you in the new year!!!!
