Merry Christmas

Again I have been slacking on my blog. I was on a good roll for awhile, but as usual I get sidetracked.

We've been busy with the boys and school, Matthew will be going to preschool for a few hours a week starting in January. I am really looking forward to having a few hours alone with Trevor. Matthew is usally the one to get the alone time, when Trevor is in school. Very much looking forward to alone time with Trev!!!

We are all settled in the new house. We had our staff Christmas Party here last weekend, so Russ was working double time to get all the renovations wrapped up in time for that. My favorite part is that my window seat got done, thanks to my dad and Russ!!! I love it. My computer sits on the side table and this is where I sit to read a book, read a magazine, or when I am on my computer.

The party went great and it was nice to show off our finished house.

Other than the christmas party we have been busy with the usual Christmas festivities.

The boys decorated gingerbread houses.


and promptly bit into them right after. I don't think I have ever actually eaten a gingerbread house. By the time I think to take a bit, they are all dried up and hard as a rock, so I guess the boys had the right idea eating them right away.



And we went to the Christmas tree farm.



Aunty Sarah came to decorate our tree with us but I can't seem to find the picture of it.

On a side note, I don't think I have mentioned yet that my brother and Sarah are expecting their first baby in March. I AM SOOOO EXCITED!!!! I can't wait to meet the new baby. Congratulations Sarah and Mike.


Tonight is Christmas Eve. For the past 5 years we have been lucky enought to be included in our friends Chris and Monica's Christmas Eve dinner. A few weeks ago they move in to their new house, across the street and 5 doors down from us. So tonight we are loading up the wagon with the kids and walking down the street. no driving, so me and Russ can both enjoy a few drinks. Matthew came down with pink eye yesterday so we almost couldn't go, but there are not any other kids going so they have told us to still come.

Tomorrow we will wake up and open presents, then off to my parents for dinner and move presents. And on Boxing day Russ's family is coming over for lunch.

So Merry Christmas to all, I hope you enjoy your time with family and friends over the next few days!!
