And Baby Makes Five (YIKES)

Need I say more?

Skating

We took the kids to the new Willie O'Ree arena this past weekend. The place was packed! It was Kya's first time on skates and my first time since junior high I think. We had a great time and hope to do it more often.

Ski School

Noah started ski school this month at Crabbe Mountain. Greg takes him every Saturday and drops him off with his class and he gets to enjoy a bit of skiing as well. Noah is doing great! Each week he has been bumbed up to the next class. Greg said that he has learned more during his first lesson then he has the three winters that Greg has taken him skiing. I'm hoping to go watch my ski bum in training this weekend.

Heading Home

This is what the kids looked like during the sliding and on the way home after a long morning of fresh air.

NYE on the Tobique

We decided to make the trek to Lisa's parents cottage for New Year's Eve. We always have a great time no matter what time of year we decide to go. The kids had a great time sliding and Brandon brought his snowmobile and a caboose for the kids to ride in. They had a ball. We had lots of great food and there was another couple there with their two kids (one was a 2 week old baby boy) and Lisa's cousin came over with his 2 kids and a guest. After a long evening of sliding they decided to watch the polor express.

Christmas

I was so surprised that the kids actually slept in until 8am on Christmas morning. We woke up and I went downstairs to make sure that Santa had arrived (and get the camera ready) We got some cute video clips of Noah so excited when he came down and saw all of the presents and that Santa ate all of his milk and cookies. We had a great day and after cinnamon buns and baileys and coffee we headed to Moms to see them and had a quick lunch then came home for naps and off to Greg's parents for more presents and an awesome turkey dinner. Thanks to everyone for all of the great gifts - we were spoiled rotten once again.

Christmas Crafts and Christmas Eve

Here are a few pictures of Carrie doing some crafts with the kids. She is an artist and loves to do crafts with them and she has so much patience. She will make a great teacher.
Noah, Carter and Kya exchanged their gifts on CHristmas Eve. Noah is lovin' his superman outfit. Superheros were definately the theme of this Christmas!

Christmas Concert

The YMCA put on a great Christmas concert for us parents. Noah had been practising his songs for about a month but if we walked in on him singing he would quickly stop and grin at us. It was supposed to be a surprise for us. It was so cute - too bad Kya was feeling a little down in the dumps.
