Christmas #3 Christmas Day

Papa Ray and Kim came down on Christmas Day. 

The kids got new tablets to read or watch Netflix on. 

Elizabeth really loved this new stuffed unicorn. 

Elizabeth and Kim made some Christmas cards together. 

Finished cards. 

The kids worked on finishing their gingerbread houses that Auntie Laura brought yesterday. 

Snow

We had our first snowstorm of the year yesterday (12/29). It snowed for about an hour or so. It was enough snow for Elizabeth to make a snowman. 

We woke up this morning to a pile of sticks where the snowman had been. It's currently 56 and super windy. It feels like spring today. It's weird these pictures were just last night. 

Christmas #2 Christmas Eve

For Christmas Eve, Papa Norm, Gram, Auntie Laura, and Pippa came down. 

Nathan did some potato peeling. 

Papa Norm dogsat for Pippa while the rest of us headed out to watch "Mary Poppins Returns."

Christmas #1

Grandma Pam came down the weekend before Christmas. We had a great visit! We drove around and looked at some Christmas lights. Nathan wasn't feeling too great. However, he did feel like opening presents! 

Skate Night

We had a Skate Night a few weeks ago. It's Nathan's last year of Skate Nights. Both kids had a great time skating. 

Winterfest

We went to Winterfest at the school. Nathan wasn't into the activities so he read in the library. Elizabeth and Charlotte did some crafts, games, and got their picture with Santa. 

Apple Cup

It was another sad Apple Cup even though it was a snow bowl. However, we got a few cute pictures!

Pippa LOVED wearing Elizabeth's cougar dress. She didn't mind it at all!! 

Thanksgiving

The kids and I went to Royal City for Thanksgiving. Jeremy had to work. I think it's the first Thanksgiving we actually left him on Thanksgiving. 

Elizabeth had some fun times with Auntie Laura. Laura put jewels on her nails and braided her hair!!! 

Nathan helped Papa Norm peel all the potatoes. 

Pippa posed for some pictures. 

Gram made a delicious dinner complete with the jello salad the kids love! 

Elizabeth's pretty braid. It stayed in for a few hours but slowly slipped out due to all her playing. 

Papa and Nathan played some baseball in the 30 degree fog. 

Laura working on Elizabeth's nails. 

Christmas themed nails. 

A new life form arrived. It was called "The Blob" and it liked to attack people and swallow them up.
