I realize that I have already posted some New Year's Photos but I just noticed these Christmas photos I missed so I thought I would catch up. This is the kids standing at the top of the stairs waiting to come down and see what Santa brought them. Craig's parents spent the night with us so they got see the Christmas morning excitement.
It was great weather when we were there, lots of packing snow so we made the most of it.
For New Year's we headed up to my parent's house with our friends Tom & Catherine and Jason & Suzanne and their 2 kids Ethan and Eva. We had a lovely weekend and celebrated New Year's Eve with hats, horns, kids cocktails, sparklers and a dance party. Then we sent the kids off to bed and had a nice relaxing evening introducing Jason and Suzanne to the joys of Settler's of Catan. 
Thanks to a gentle reminder from my colleague Melissa I am trying to get the blog back on track. I have been busy trying to get some of my new technology up and running and that process is ongoing but in the meantime I will try to catch up with some the great photos that are sitting on my computer. Here the kids are enjoying the great present that Marg and Sandi got for Maren. Poor Maren had to wait her turn while the Adkins kids did lots of jumping.
We celebrated my family Christmas on the 1st weekend of December as Mom & Dad are heading out to Vancouver to be there when Meghan & Mark's baby arrives. The kids had a great weekend and loved their (and each other's) gifts.
