a very late Christmas post


We got to take the boys skating over the holidays, Reid thought skating was going to be VERY easy so he was a bit surprised that he could just get on the rink and play hockey with Daddy and uncle Matt but he did good, and practiced for over an hour,


Dexter, not to be out done "played hockey" with his boots

For Christmas Eve we had Cheese "fondu" (our own bowls of cheese sauce, really do you think fire would be a good idea with my boys???)


I think all Dexter ate was sausage dipped in cheese but hey it's Christmas

 After church we came home and the boys opened their gifts from us
For Reid: a more train stuff, a cat in the hat movie and a helicopter hoodie
 For Dex: a baler (which Reid promtly adopted) a backpack and a harmonica or his "monika"
 Jammies from Nana and Papa (my parents)
 Christmas day was spent a Ben's parents (check out Reid's hoodie)
Where they got a Combine!
 And john deere Jammies from Grandma and Grandpa (Ben's parents)
cousins: Daryn, Addison and Andrew (I took over 20 pics of the 5 of them in their jammies and this was the best one)

In someways Christmas was so relaxing this year, because we had done our trip out west in Novemeber, but we felt the need to really to join the spirit (stress) of the holidays so we painted 3/4 of the house in the weeks leading up to Chirstmas.  We have now finished the painting but the house is a complete disaster because just as we finished we were hit with the mother of all head colds and so we still have drop clothes and paint brushes sitting around, but hopfully in the next few weeks we will finish all those details and get some pics up
