Brr It's cold outside!

One of the great things about spending a couple of days at the cottage, is the snow

Katheryn has been dying to go outside and play in the snow!

So we all bundled ourselves up, got out the sleds and were all excited to go!

Even Nick wanted to go and play in the snow

For about 5 minutes

We had the sled all ready for the kids to go in.

But the snow didn't let anything slide on it.

So there was snow-trekking

And snow throwing

And burying mommy

Katheryn didn't mind the cold at all

But pretty soon this face was coming out (this picture is from new years)

He didn't want to go out on the sled, or play in the snow

So we went in for some promised hot chocolate!

And Nick watched the rest of the play from here

And was happy about it

Believe it or not, this -19C day was the warmest of the week!
On our day we went home, this is what we had in the morning!

A Year in Review... 2013

Here are some of my favorite pictures from this past year!

Happy New Year

Noise makers... check

Funny hats.... check

Ready to P-A-R-T-Y... check

Nice warm fire... check

(Someone was not very happy with all of the cold snow)

Even better...
Winter smores!

A quick warm up dance

OK we are all ready for 2014

Or... we will see it in the morning

The rest of us made it to midnight

I even got a New Years kiss!

In the morning it was time for some Wii Dance Party!

Welcome 2014

Ending 2013 with some white stuff

We decided to head up to the cottage for the end of the year

It was beautiful
As long as you were inside...

And maybe if you were shovelling to keep warm

Or if you were a Bernese Mountain Dog
With a coat all ready for the snow

Everyone else stayed inside

and stayed nice and warm

All ready for the new year!

Christmas Time

 Christmas morning came and the kids were very excited!

Katheryn got to give out all of the presents

 And Nick got to open up all of his presents (his pile was higher than he was).

Then it was on the road

The positive about the recent ice storm was the beautiful landscape. All of the trees have been covered in ice, and it doesn't look like it is melting any time soon.

It is breathtaking, the most beautiful white Christmas!

We had a great family day, complete with our very own Christmas concert!

Merry Christmas Everyone!
