FAMILY CHRISTMAS. Ho Ho arrives! (a.k.a. Santa)

A happy crowd

Trent had no reservations about Santa. Santa had a present for him and he wasn't leaving his side until he received it.

Ashley had a little different take on the situation...

Maggie and Trent are getting excited!

Family game time...

We were surprised that the twins weren't begging to open their presents on a daily basis. They left that up to their older brother and sister!

Mags and Trent are quite proud of the reindeer antlers they made at the local Family Enrichment Centre.

Sunday in the snow...

Connor in his element.

It was such a nice day and poor Brian was sick as a dog in bed, so the kids and I decided to go tobogganing. It was alot of fun and a great way to get fresh air!

One night getaway!

The kids were all smiles as we were on our way to our "one night away". Our smiles turned to frowns when we saw the red lights approaching quickly behind us! Thankfully the kind police officer let us off with a warning...whew!

We arrived safely in Windsor to be sorely disappointed...both the pool and the hot tub were out of commission! As you can see, Kels and Connor were not impressed (neither were Nicole and I).

So we packed our bags and headed for the nearest Holiday Inn and lived a night in the lap of luxury!

Just the Beginning

Welcome! We have just purchased our first digital camera and have decided to start blogging! So as soon as some nice pics are taken...you'll be the first to see them.

And here they are. Be patient we don't quite have it down pat yet!

Morning Miss Maggie!

Kelsey pictured after her performance of Jazz Invention #2 by Gallante. She played her piece beautifully (and flawless). Way to go Kels!

We have been blessed with both artists and musicians...our fridge is plastered with amazing creations and our rooms are filled with the sound of music!
