It's a New Year!

It was a quiet christmas for us here. Usually we go to Winnipeg or Family visits us but this year it was just the four of us. There was no running around or trying to be a three places at once, our only major decision was what we should do during the day. That being said,Christmas Day was slow paced. the kids woke us up around 7:30. They opened stockings, had a quick breakfast and then we opened gifts. They were excited to see what Santa brought, but we saved that present for last. The kids loved all their presents, even the clothes. The kids played with the games they received and video taped with their new camera. Ron made a nice brunch and we hung around for the afternoon. Although we did get a phone call from out hospital telling us Riley and Kiera had strep throat and we needed to pick up anti biotics. Ron was getting over strep and I think I was about to get it.

Later we headed for dinner across the street to the Warywodas. Crystal made a tasty turkey, along with stuffing, cabbage rolls etc. After supper the kids ran around playing games and finally ended the night watching a movie. Boxing day was not very exciting. I ended up at the doctor and found out I had an ear infection and probably - you guess it - strep throat. So I spent the day in bed.

The rest of our holiday we didn't do anything we planned like snowshoeing etc.. but that was because of a lack of snow. When it did get cold enough Ron built our hockey rink. It took a bit of time, but it's done and the kids love it. Riley has been out there everyday, sometime more than once a day skating and playing hockey.

Here is Kiera with her "rock star" crimped hair. Katie and her were playing and wanted their hair done.

The kids only have 5 days left to enjoy the rink, as we will be off to the Sunshine State for some fun and relaxation. - Disney here we come.

I think I'm the most excited for going to Florida. Kiera is excited to see Grandma and Grandpa and Riley to see - well "Everything". It will be nice to get away. So we'll keep you updated while we're gone.
