It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...


Eva loving the snowflake lights in our front window.

Emmy's school Christmas concert.

Our Christmas tree.

Christmas cards and photos.

I am really loving all the ones that I have been getting.  I kinda cheaped-out this year with mine but all of these are making me want to do something really great for our Christmas card next year.

Oh the weather outside is frightful....20+ cm in 36 hours.

Backyard Christmas Lights

Eva checking out the lights on the big tree in the backyard.

A family pic by the big tree.  It is not the best angle of it but I liked getting both the tree and the deck in the photo.

Heading out for a late night GT ride.

Robin had to get pics of his tree from all angles...lol.  This is the view from the road.

And here is the whole thing.  Got new style of lights on it this year.  :)

O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree...

Vistors from Manitoba

Shortly after I got home from Manitoba my parents came to visit us so they could catch up with their granddaughters.  We did a lot of "Christmasy" things while they were here such as, taking in the Santa Clause parade, making a gingerbread house, making Christmas crafts and putting up Christmas decorations and lights in the yard.

Afi watching this girls shoot some hoops!
