It's been a while since I've posted anything new here. With the holidays and being busy with the kids I guess time got away from me. It was nice to have the kids home for two weeks, but it was sure nice walking them to school this morning.
The Christmas holidays were a great way to get down to basics and spend some quality time with the family. Christmas Day we stayed home until evening when we got into the car and headed over to the Mercer's house to wish everyone a Merry Christmas. The kids (and along with us) were thankful to stay home and play with our new toys and new gadgets. Mom joined us for an early dinner and a game of Twister. They really should put a warning label on that game. No one over the age of 30 should play it. We had some big time laughs over Dwayne and Mom trying to put their bodies in positions that they haven't done in years.
At the Mercer's we were able to see family members we hadn't seen in awhile. Especially the two little cousins. I looked at them and was amazed. I had a hard time imaging mine were ever that small. It was also neat to see how they interacted with each other. (they are both one and only hours apart.)
New Years was pretty quiet. Dwayne, Riley, Bella, and I went over to some friends place to have some celebrations drinks and food. Dwayne and I aren't night owls and we were home by 9:30. We watch the ball drop in Time Square at ten, gave each other a kiss goodnight, and went
to sleep. I know we act like old people. Maybe next year we'll make it until 11pm.
That's about it. We are now heading into some really long days here. I would like this weather to improve so I can take the kids sledding. I'm crossing my fingers that Saturday it will be decent enough to get out to the hill. But this is Alberta and it's winter.
Side Note:
Bailey decided to give her brother the middle finger last night. So not like her. I would have expected it out of Bella. It was really hard to discipline her when I was trying so hard to not to laugh.
