and this was our January 2016

New years Day festivities at Uncle Dwayne and Auntie Trixie's

Andrew got to drive the snowmobiles. He was stoked.



Just one of a hundred drawings for Emma. She painted this. She might just have to teach art to her future classes at school.

Our niece Karina and her hubby had their twin girls. So tiny and so special visiting them in the hospital!

Sledding with our neighbors the Veldkamp's. 

These two are such buddies

Hardcore kids skating at the Rus's rink. It was minus 40 with the wndchill. They played outside at 10-15 minute intervals.



Practicing letter sheets.

Mustache day at school. Sam didn't feel like participating.

Luke and his buddy Micah. Love our neighbor playdates.

Isaac and the Vanderheide's dog Eli! Isaac loved him.

Mommy, Emma and Isaac made a road trip to Coaldale to visit friends. We stayed with the Vanderheide's and had a blast as usual!

Tracy organized a girls night out with a bunch of great ladies. There just never seems to be enough time to catch up with everyone.

Cabin 2015

December 2015

December was a busy month with family, concerts, and celebrations.

Traditional making wrapping paper.

Every kid has a bag full of their own ornaments that they get to hang on the tree. It's pretty full by the time they are time decorating.

Nana and Papa came for 10 days at the beginning of December so we were able to have a mini Christmas with them.

Parkland Immanuel Christian School concert.

Out for some cold walks.

Family Skating in Devon.



Gift exchange. Our family drew names and the kids had to read books and do extra chores to earn money to buy their person a gift. Emma thanking Luke for the gift he got her.

Everyone checking out Isaac's lego semi-truck. Sam had his name, bought it, built it and wrapped it so it would be finished for Isaac to play with when he opened it.

Mr. Hunter extraordinaire.

Daddy busted Emma! Caught her in the act!

Making Christmas treats.

Grandma and Grandpa stayed a few nights over holidays too.
