Opening gifts and checking out stockings

 

 

 

 

I would have loved to be able to read Sienna's mind when we were opening gifts.. All the noise, excitement and mess around her... she just watched everyone! Here are a few more pictures!

Merry Christmas!!

 

 

 

 

We hope you had a great Christmas!! Ours was very entertaining... the kids were so excited.. We were in Bonnyville for Christmas Eve, Grant's sisters' for Christmas Day, and we had a Supper at our house for Boxing Day. The kids received so many things for Christmas, that have kept them busy checking them out. Here are just a few photos of our events.

First Day of School

 

 

 

Our little Caleb is now attending school! It hit me hard, that he's starting already.. to me he's still my baby. Even though he'll be 4 in March, my time with him at home will be done quickly. Right now, he'll be going Mon, Wed, and Fri mornings. He was accepted in a special program, to help him with his speech. He's in the same school as Meagan, so they're both excited about that. Meagan even asked her teacher if she could have lunch with her little brother. So cute... He'll love it. Mornings will be a little crazy, trying to pack up 3 kids to run to town.. but so worth it. Well, until later!

Our girl is 6!!

 

 

 

 

It's usually crazy around this time of year, (a little more so with the move!) but around Meagan's birthday, I take time to remember how exciting it was to become a Mom. (6 years ago!) Meagan was such a good baby, and I love looking back at all the photos I have of her.. She was so adorable, and grew up way too fast. Now that she's a Big Sister to Caleb and Sienna, I love to watch how loving she is with both of them. She takes time to play, kiss and talk to Sienna all the time, and loves to read books to both her siblings. I am so Thankful for 3 beautiful, healthy, loving kids and a wonderful husband. I couldn't be luckier!

Winter Fun

 

 

 

 

We had a "Snow Day" yesterday, where the busses couldn't run with the amount of snow we got. The kids enjoyed the day spent at home. They even had the chance to decorate our Christmas tree, and spend time in the snow, making Snow Angels. Included are a few pictures of Caleb having a discussion with Santa. A good caption for the photos " Santa... I can explain Everything!" hee hee Have a great day!!

Santa visits Lac La Biche

 

 

 

 

The kids were able to see Santa when he came to visit Lac La Biche... There was a free hot dog lunch, where we were able to cook them on the fire. The pictures turned out pretty cute!! It was great to do something to get us in the Christmas mood. All I've been focused on is trying to get things unpacked and moved around. We still have work to do at the old house. At least my Christmas stuff got moved to the new place finally, it's just all sitting in the trailer, waiting to be brought in the house. It was great to have my parents come for a few days to watch the kids, while I got some work done. I can always use an extra pair of hands (or two!) :)

Meagan's birthday is coming up on Saturday, and I'm behind schedual in getting that organized. But hopefully this week, I'll work on my Christmas cards! And Caleb had his first day of school last Friday. Very exciting! We've been waiting for him to be accepted in a certain program, and the big day finally came. I'm happy for him, but sad that he's grown up so fast! He'll be 4 in March already! I will post pictures of his first days of school soon!

Better get some work done!!

Outside photos

 

 

 

 

I haven't been taking too many photos lately, as things are still crazy around here.. we are happily settled in, but some things still need unpacking, plus there's still more stuff at the old house to move over. This fall went by so fast, I can't believe Meagan's 6th birthday is in 10 days!! Yikes.. I better start planning things. And then Christmas! Wow!

Just thought I'd post a few more pictures of the new place.. It is such a nice home, and seems made just for us!! It's perfect! Until later!
