We're Back..... lot's more to come...

Hey.... We're still here and doing Great.... Christmas has come and gone and all of a sudden so has Easter.... Oooops. Here's some of what we have been up to.
First it was Christmas.... Christmas Conerts are a must. Hunter had a great time entertaining every one there. This was a treat, so fresh and so absolutly genuine!
Then there is the decoration part of Christmas. Nola is a master at getting us all in the Christmas swing of things with her attention to detail. "Thanks for all you do sweetheart!" We Love it, we may moan a little and roll our eyes at each other while you aren't looking ... but what is Christmas without a little traditional eye rolling? Ya gotta do it! Nola has collected numerous Nativities here are a few...

I think this one (above) is Nola's favorite.
This one is my favorite. Nola made all the figures when she was in grade 9.
This one is made from Olive Tree Wood from Jerusalem....

Sammy Snow Flake even came out to decorate this year
We have lived in this home for 12 Christmas's now. Each year on Christmas morning we go visit George and the Hills (2 wonderful neighbours) in our pyjamas, usually new pj's that Nola has arranged for us as our "Christmas Jammies" .... Again Tradition... This is a really fun one.
Christmas was GREAT! Soooooo wonderful to be with family,

eat, play, hang out, eat turkey sandwiches....

fly indoor helecopters, how cool is that?


On the 27th Dad's birthday we traveled to Lethbridge to visit and to Celebrate,
Kori had us all laughing a lot. Kori is a Grandma.... this is Kennedy's little girl "Presley" Aren't they Beautiful......
Great Grandma is continuously gracious and giving to her children, grand children, and great grand children. Mom: "You continue to be a wonderful roll model for all of us!" Thank You.

Dad: "Your love for your bride and tenderness that you show to all is legendary." Thank You!
