Our 1st Christmas was at home...
Atalie's first Barbie!
Aiden sets up his Hot Wheels track with a little help.
Isla and I watch the action from a comfortable distance :)
Kevin tries on his perfectly fitting MEC hoodie.
We load (packed right full!) into the mv for a drive to Lethbridge... yes, even our large outdoor dog had to come :/
Our 2nd Christmas was in Lethbridge, with the Israelson-side...
Nana and Isla play together.
Kev and his Dad dusted off a couple of hats to try on.
The dinner table was dressed in its best!
The kids with their cousins, Brooke & Tyler... it's go time!
Jeff and Leane worked on assembling Lego allll evening... is this one of those toys that reads, "SOME assembly required" on the package? It should have come with a warning if you ask me.
Mom I. cutting up the ham.
Cousins Tyler and Andrew manage to share a swively stool... I don't know how.
Christmas #3 took place in Coaldale, with Mom and Dad Dyck (Tyler and Jana weren't able to make it this year - we missed them!!!!) Above, Grandma and Grandpa entertain two little pooks.
Aiden checks out his Cmas present!
Atalie loved this game, however it also came in handy for playing ponies:)
Grandpa has the fortunate experience of feeding Isla:)
Grandma has all her Grand-kiddos!
Atalie gives me a birthday snuggle - the big 30 this time!
Cutting up my cake:) Delicous!!!
Overall a great Christmas season! We were blessed with lots of family and even got to visit with a friend or two:) Looking forward to what 2011 holds!
We made a little craft a week ago, it turned out really great! 3D Paper Snowflakes.
It was super easy too... here's the link if you'd like to make some yourself; if you want something even simpler but with a more artistic flare, try this link.
Isla is 8 months old now, still growing like a little weed ("sunflower", as Atalie says).
Aiden and Kevin... I suppose the picture says it all :)
We went for a stroll in the wintery woods (the only place that wasn't a complete skating rink) on Saturday... but first we thought it would be fun to get the van stuck a few times -- don't ask why we took the van. And by "a few" I really mean a few. Three, to be precise. I won't go into detail... for the sake of our egos.
These above pics capture the first "stuck" moment (the least stuck of them all).
...and finally, some pics of our walk, which we eventually got to!
