Christmas 2016 - Oh what fun we had!

I've spent far too long looking over all the Christmas pictures I took trying to decide which pictures to share.

There are simply too many.

Here are a few of my favourites from December.

Love

 These Two.

Just look at them.

I bet you are smiling.

You're welcome.

 Mom and Grandad came down for Nathan's 

school Christmas concert.   He had fun and we had fun
watching all the stars of the big show.

Words cannot express what I felt when I saw this on the
concert schedule at Nathan's school.

Such a special school and teachers.

Who doesn't love a blanket ride?

These two sure do.

Christmas

Christmas Eve 

Full of excitement and anticipation

Christmas Morning

Mom and Dad arrived at 7 am

Miles and I were up and the

rest of the crew were not too far behind.

N got up at 3:30am and was promptly

told to get back to bed, it was the middle of the night.

3:30 - No - except I didn't get back to sleep.

Yawn

7:30 - YES

So much fun!!!

We spent Christmas Eve afternoon and evening with Ryan's parents 

and came home in time to get everyone tucked in and

awaiting the arrival of Santa.

So exciting!!

Morning came (hours too early), Mom and Dad

arrived with smiles on their faces and Nathan came down stairs 

and it was everything you would expect it to be for

a six year old.

Magic!

N mapping out his route.

Yellowknife, China, Turkey, Cuba and of course

Tornado Alley are all stops along 

the journey.

Christmas is a time of year that can bring up so many feelings.

People remember Christmas. 

 You remember how you felt as a kid, where you were, 

who you spent the day with, certain presents, different celebrations and

annual traditions.

People make an effort at Christmas.

People try to be kinder, more generous, more accepting, 

better.

Christmas makes memories.

Christmas is full of memories.

Christmas is a time to remember.

Remember, that with all the joy and excitement of Christmas

Most people are also at least little sad because they are remembering

the people they can no longer share the day with and reflecting back

to the moments they had.

Be kind to yourself, your heart, your memories and each other

Remember to be present in the little moments of today

that could be the big moments of yesterday.

Merry Christmas

Fun in November

It is getting tougher to catch this guy and his great smile.

He's as happy as ever but he's getting older, and so cool.....

It seems it's much more cool to be silly and serious.

We had an impromptu photo shoot one afternoon.

It was kind of fun and as always, I love to 

watch these two together.

This guy....

Is busy.

He's here, he's there,

he's everywhere.

So far this week, it's Tuesday,

I've found him in a cupboard,

stuck in his exersaucer and everywhere in-between.

Here's a shot of that cool kid I was talking about...

One of my favourites

Adore

I guess you could call him a 

Sous Chef?

Division 3 Provincial Final game

Acadia University

We are kind of fond of the star kicker ; )

Mom's famous pumpkins

2015 Version

There he is on the move again.

Honestly, I didn't plan to trip him up 

with his too long pants.

It didn't work anyway.

Classic Miles

Oh look at this....

Boom

Oh well, onto the next activity.

Haha

Nathan was pretty happy about this.

He said he "taught" Miles how to do this.

Always such a helpful kid.

That's a wrap.

November 2015

There's that tree!

This tree is spectacular every year.

Every year I look at it and smile.

I've scoped out the trees in the neighbourhood.

I think we have the best tree ; )

With great trees, you get great leaves.

With great leaves you get happy boys!

I'm not a huge fan of screen time for the kiddos

but is dryer time frowned upon too?

My little science boy is all about experiments.

He comes up with some great ideas.

Imagine my surprise when I saw a book written by my baby!

I'm glad it was a cool book because

I was going to buy it regardless of what it was.

Northern Lights - Awesome

Written my wee one

Really Awesome.

Speaking of my wee baby.

He's 9 months old now.

What!?!

He's on the move everyone.

I'm not ready.

It's nice that he tries to clean up after himself........
