Sledding then breakfast

We made the hour long trip to go to Wheeler's for breakfast. The sausages were amazing but it was way too cold to go for a walk on the trails. We did check out the barns and the maple syrup museum but we were too cold to take photos.

Tobagganing

We took advantage of the warm weather and lots of snow to go tobagganing down by the park. We drove there old school style in the back of the pick up truck (without helmets even). McKinley was a crusty, miserable piece of work but the rest of us had a great time.

Back to New Year's

I realize the blog has been a bit out of chonological order lately but it seems to go well with my scattered brain. I will eventually get back on track but for now bear with me and just enjoy the photos.

The last 2 are a bit blurry but they beautifully capture Avery's joy of tobagganing.

Lone Rangers

I am not quite sure how it happened but we ended up making masks for Avery and Muddy and they were a big hit.

Avery's Family Birthday Party

Avery had a never ending birthday party with the Adkins family over to celebrate on the Saturday before, her friend party on the Sunday and gifts from Mom & Dad on the actual day. She, of course loved every minute of it. She requested a My Little Pony Birthday cake but after Craig could not find one for rent in 3 different stores she was still thrilled with Ariel as choise # 2.

Treats of the Week

I am sure Cam and Craig are very proud to see their girls all tarted up. Thank heavens that Ella and McKinley are a bit more conservative.

Dress up time

We had a nice visit from Kelly and the girls after Christmas. They had a great time dressing up in Avery's new dress up outfits. The slightly disturbing thing was that Avery and Molly thought it would be better if they took their regular clothes off first. Kelly and I have no idea how they learn to pose in such a grown up way. Too bad there is no audio otherwise then you could appreciate the added effect of Molly's new accent she has acquired and that Avery was trying to imitate. Hilarious.

Go Canada Go!

Grandma & Grandpa Adkins bought everyone Olympic gear so here are a few shots of everyone looking patriotic in their new duds.

Adkins Christmas continues

Some more photos from Christmas day

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.
