Happy New Year's Eve!

The rink is ready!!  We've had a fun morning on it.  I think we're about ready to go on it again this afternoon.  Ice is fun.
And our first hockey game of the season, the Penguins vs. the Arctic Turn.  The Penguins win 10 to 7.

A Very Merry Christmas!

Boy have we had a wonderful Christmas.  We went to Grandma and Granpa's on the 21st.  We had a wonderful day, and made a sweet Gingerbread house with our cousins. Then Christmas Eve we had our friends over for the afternoon, then all went to church that evening.  Christmas morning was wonderful -with lots of presents.  Then Grandma and Grandpa came over for lunch and some playing with our new things in the afternoon.  Then Friday the 27th we were off to Grampie's and Nana's.  It was snowing on the way up.  What a fun night.  Ma Taunte Andrea & Seth came up too.  The next morning was our first sledding of the season.  Later that day we were off to Memere's and Papa Kings.  We had a fun time with Jim and Abby.  We had a wonderful sleepover, then presents the next morning.  And more sledding.  We had a blast.  Photos to come soon.

On the 15th Day of Christmas

We got a HUGE snow storm - about 10 inches, nice and soft and fluffy.  We had a blast in it today.
AND....



Check out our creations....yum yum yum.  We had little red and green frosting, and lots of orange and white frosting....mom said it was OK. We wanted to show a little mess in the photo, because we made a lot of mess.  But it's yummy.

We got SNOW - and rain.  But we enjoyed every minute out there, while we got rained on.  We might get more snow tonight!  Here's hoping.

On the 7th & 8th Day of Christmas

Saturday we went to a Living Nativity.  It was great.  Everyone was all dressed up at the time of Jesus's birth.  We started in Joseph's shop - and had to travel to Bethlehem.  This was at night time and there were candles lining the whole way.  We saw Roman guards, and met lots of people on our travels - some Wise men carrying gifts, a map maker to show us the way, some shepherds and their flocks by night and angels and then we got to Bethlehem and there was no room at the inn, so we went to the Manger where the baby Jesus lay.  It was soooo well done.  http://www.faithevfree.org/nativity.html  We didn't take pictures, but if you want to see some Roman guards check it out.

Sunday we got our Christmas tree!  We'er SOOOOO excited to decorate it Monday night!  More pictures to follow.

And we might get 2 inches of snow tomorrow!!  We've only had dustings - and our dusting today will turn to a wintry mix very soon.

Merry Christmas,
The 3 guys

4th Day of Christmas

On the 4th Day of Christmas my sweet aunt made for me, a beautiful Christmas wreath. :)  And I let the photo be long, so you can see my boys LOVE to be barefoot all the time, I can't get them to wear their socks, too slippy, or any kind of slippers I've tried in the past.  Maybe I'd try a pair again that have some super grippers and are really comfortable...like being barefoot. 

We've been working on our lego ornaments - one a day.  We're on the 3rd
 one - we started the 4th on, but we've got to really look for the parts to this angel....thanks online homeschool lego club. 

We LOVE Christmas!

Happy Thanksgiving!

What a wonderful Thanksgiving at Grandma & Grampa's.  We played all day - had a super fun time with our cousins Ethan & Issac.  We ate a lot and played a lot.
What a fun day.
We had a nice relaxing rest of our vacation.

Now it's Christmas time.  We decorated the house on Sunday.  Even our sweet little tree.  Mom hasn't removed the ornaments and lights - ever.  So it was a nice rearrange - tossing of broken things just 'in the tree'.  And we made some pipe cleaner candy canes.
Mom even bought some solar lights for out front.
We're counting down to Christmas.
Love,
The 3 guys
