Christmas Morning


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.

Good times at the Lake House

It was great weather when we were there, lots of packing snow so we made the most of it.
McKinley had some trouble moving around in the snow and got a little grumpy but Avery thought it was great.

New Year's Weekend

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.

Christmas continues

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.

McGuire Christmas

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.

Cupcake time

The kids played pin the tail on the donkey which was fun to watch and then Muddy enjoyed his Oscar the Grouch cupcakes.

Our new sturdy nephew & Muddy opening presents

Finley is 5 weeks old in this photo and looks like he is about 5 months old. He is a hefty thing but sweet as anything. Avery is starting to get more adventurous with her gymnastics moves. McKinley had a great time opening his presents. He loved his books, cars, remote control cement truck and guitar.

Joy to Stress

McKinley was having a great time but when he went down the slide he was a little unsure and made sure he was hanging on for dear life.

Pure Joy

This is the expression that I love. Happiness.

More fun at the park

The kids love a playground. Especially one they have never seen before.

Story time and then to the Park


We had a fun time at the park but it was a bit tricky to try and get Muddy out of that jeep. All of the rest of the kids at the park were out of luck if they had plans to drive it that day. He didn't even want to eat lunch, he was too busy driving to Florida. Avery and Callum on the other hand were running around like crazy because they kept getting put in the tower by the dragon and a bad guy. Fortunately if one of them was in the tower the other one had a sword handy to slay the dragon and the bad guy and rescue their trapped friend.
