Holiday time

The Christmas season has come and gone already. We enjoyed grandpa and grandma's visit and managed to get a lot of activities worked in to a few days. Friday morning we opened a few gifts and then we shared our turkey dinner with the Pearmans and their visitors. The boys were excited about their superhero pajamas with capes from Grandpa and Grandma. Grady wasn't interested in any more presents once he saw his new truck .. or GUCK as he calls it loud and clear! Samara has been busy solving a Nancy Drew mystery with her DS. Auntie Carla made a big hit with the Supermariokart game for the Wii. I think it It might be worn out by the end of the month ... or we really need to invest in re-chargeable batteries for the remotes! On Saturday mom and I managed to make a few purchases in the morning; some good boxing day deals in town! In the afternoon dad and I took the 3 oldest kids to the ski hill for their first time on skis. It went better than I thought it would ... after the first 20 minutes! Grandpa and Grandma from Vermilion joined us for supper after the big ski. Sunday we had company all day - Janelle and her family for lunch and Wimmers for the afternoon and supper - and then went for a little skate after supper. Today grandpa and grandma put a GT racer together that they bought for the kids so we gave that a try this afternoon on the hill behind our house. Grandpa and Grandma left after a quick lunch at A&W and we're missing them already. This week will likely consist of laundry, laundry and more laundry ... getting back into normal routine. I guess today was my birthday but I don't remember how old I am now! It was a quiet day and my treat was to have a nap while Grady was sleeping this afternoon! We have no New Years plans as of yet ... come if you want!
