Christmas Cookies

Christmas Cookies   December 25,   2014

   A few weeks ago we went to Keisha's to decorate Christmas cookies. It is always so cute to watch the kids try their best to make beautiful cookies. No matter how many times we told them not to lick the icing off their fingers, they just couldn't help themselves!

Sisters

Sisters   December 25,  2013

These two are best friends! I don't think they even realize it is possible to play separately when Saidey is home from school. They definitely have a few fights, but for the most part they get along very well, and we love watching them grow up together!

Adelles First Food December 25, 2013

   Adelles First Food      

   On December 3 we gave Adelle her first food. She had carrots for supper, and did pretty well. The girls had been waiting for months to feed her, and were very excited to help!

Fun Saturday

Fun Saturday   December 2,  2014

    Saturday was such a fun day. We all slept in until 8:00, Ben made a big breakfast, and then we set up the Christmas tree. After Adelle woke up from her nap we went skating at the Coaldale Ice Rink. There is free skating Saturday at 2:00 and the girls loved it. Definetly not the easiest thing to teach your kids to skate, but I'm sure they will catch on. After skating was over we got Tim Hortons and went grocery shopping, came home made subs for supper, and then Saidey and Hannah slept on the floor by the Christmas tree. I thought it was cute that when we woke up Sunday morning Saidey had found her way back to her own bed, She said sleeping on the floor wasn't too comfy!

Omas Vist

Omas Vist   December 2,  2014

   Aww, what a special picture to have. Oma came to vist last week, and we were very happy to get to spend time with her! The girls miss Opa and Oma alot since we spent a few months living in BC.
   Saidey and Hannah were super excited that Oma had a sleepover in their room with them for two nights.
We took Oma to see Ben at work on the Dairy, had a special Chinese food supper, had a pizza movie night,
and the girls spent hours coloring with Oma.
   Come back soon Oma!

Coaldale Birds Of Prey Centre

Hannah was a bit nervous of all the ducks

Holding Alex the owl

Amazing how big her eyes are

We learned that bald eagles dont actually have a white head until they are around 7 years old!

Ben asked if the birds were happy being tied up all the time, and they told him that birds are actually very lazy,and
choose to perch unless they have to go out to catch food!
