Christmas 2012....Ahhh!

Our ice rink!! Many hours went into making this baby but it has paid off!! The kids use it daily right until it's time to go to bed!

Ginger's friend Snuggles (our friends new puppy)

We spent hours building Inuk shuks and soaking up rays here....

The rocky beach that boasted gorgeous sunsets!

Our site at Inverhuron - where we encountered a bat - yes a bat - in the trailer at 1:00 in the morning...I didn't know whether to laugh or cry...

Getting ready for hockey (so cute and so Canadian!) - Trent plays Tuesdays and Saturdays and Connor plays Thursdays and Saturdays - lots of time spent at the arena - but we love watching our little dudes!

Kelsey turns 14 - this is the first year I didn't bake her a cake - sorry babe! She was quite happy with the Triple Chocolate Fudge cake from M & M's!
