Ok Gary, I'm on it!!!!! And do you know why I'm being so good at blogging again??? 2 reasons. First........you facetimed !!!!!!! Yay :) second, some of the photos Scott took are so awful I couldn't put them on Facebook ;)


We had a lovely Christmas Day with a nice early start. 530am





Here are the boys rising from their slumber. Don't feel bad for a sleepy looking Cade. He's the one that wakes us all up so early!!!!





Boys were happy with all Santa left


With Braeden being particularly thrilled with his minecraft figures.


Davis and Lincoln were happy with their presents from us. They both got Transformer scooters. As it was raining all day I let them ride them up and down my hallway. At the end of the day as they were leaving I asked Davis what his favourite gift from Santa was. "This scooter" was his reply :)

As we sat down to dinner Bill remarked how lovely the table looked and that Scott should take some photos. And wait til you see the photos Scott took. He definitely fails in the photography department ;)





Karen would hate this photo. I swear she enjoyed her meal but Scott did not capture that did he????


And then this one I'm pretty sure was to let you see the meat he prepared. Again a fail at a good Christmas dinner photo. What am I going to do with that boy!!!!!!!!


He did get a semi decent one of the kids table. My 2 starting with meat only. I did get some potatoes and veg into Cade, but think Braeden may have skipped out on that. I don't think Davis ate much as Braeden confessed to stealing the meat off his plate, and I'm pretty sure that what you see on Lincoln's plate is what he had......that is until dessert came out and he demolished his weight in ice cream, sprinkles and whipped cream ;)


And lastly, me showing what prize I got in my cracker. They were pretty good this year. Reusable shopping bag in a strawberry design, tripod flashlights, metal key rings, drill bits and pens. No jokes, but a trivia challenge and a charade.

By 830 I was beat!!! My bed never felt so good.



Hope everyone is continuing to enjoy the holiday season


Love to all

Gosh, was it really September 15 th since I wrote something on our blog.
I'm doing this especially for Gary, who is showing commitment to chronicling about his family. Surely I can do some chronicling on mine!! Not to mention Gary is no longer face booking and not a facetimer, so I gotta keep in contact with him somehow :)
We have come to the end of another sports season. Cade's final basketball game was tonight. A great win of 27-3.




We will get a break over the Xmas season, then Braeden starts up with basketball. That goes on until almost spring break, then after that its flag football for both boys, summer hols with visit from Granny Jo and Granda Ian then fall football starts. Boy how quickly time flies by now.
For being a girl who had no interests in sports, its amazing how things change. I love all the sports the kids are involved in. I get sad at the end of a season and look forward to the next. I myself have become addicted to running. I hate waking early in the morning, but if I don't get my 5 am run the day just doesn't feel the same. I am definitely not the fastest, but running with a dog each side of me, I am definitely the happiest :)
So, it's almost Christmas. I hope everyone's parcels are arriving. The online and shipping thing always worries me. And how naked under the tree looks with all these parcels going all over the world!!!!


here are some photos to finish out



This is the tree we cut down at a Christmas tree farm and took home




This was us hunting for the tree. Cade was just getting over in sickness and little did we know Braeden was just beginning!!


And if you were coming to mine for Christmas dinner this would be your mood lighting. A deer head of Scott's. :)


I am thinking of you all over this festive season. "Holding your hands in my pocket" as mum had said to me before.
I look forward to us all being together again next Christmas.
I will try and blog again before christmas, but just in case I don't, wishing each one of you in this family spanning the globe, that you have a very Merry Christmas.
Love to all
