Last Family Gift

We opened our last family Christmas present yesterday - a night at Fairmont Hot Springs. Last year we decided to start a new family tradition: buy a big family gift and stocking stuffers only for individuals. The kids have lots of toys, books and stuff and there's always presents from grandparetns. Last year our family present was Mitzy. How do we do anything to compare with that! Well..three days of family fun. The first was a new game and all day Christmas playing games. The second was a family night out to dinner and a movie. And here's the third day....definitely a hit!

Christmas morning - Part 2

Christmas morning

Merry Christmas!

Uh Oh!

I made doughnuts for breakfast on Monday. They were much much too easy to make and so much better than store bought. We may be in serious trouble here.

Snow Forts

It has been snowing almost constantly for the last three weeks (until yesterday) and the kids each built a snow fort. They are wearing their special birthday hats - which they love and really keep them warm!

Wine Glasses Rack on my Hutch

Here it is all finished - well, Dad is going to build me a couple more racks but mostly done. It really completes the kitchen. I love having all my dishes all at hand.
