The Leffers Bear Story!

This is Mama and Papa Bear's bed and it is much too big! It's so BIG that the 4 little Leffers Bear's all want to crawl in with Mama and Papa Bear.
This is Little Isaac Bear's crib and it is just right for a Baby Bear to sleep nice and cozy, and it is also just right for Mama and Papa Bear because Baby Bear can't get out!

This is Little Bear Luke's new bed and for some reason he doesn't find it just right for him. He tries to come into Mama and Papa Bear's bed numerous times every night. This causes Mama and Papa Bear to become Very Cranky Bear's that ROAR very loudly which sends Little Luke bear scurrying back to his room.

This is the Bigger Boy Bear's beds which they stay in just fine until the clock turns 7:00 sharp each morning, then they come racing into Mama and Papa Bear's bed to announce that there is a 7 on the clock!

All joking aside the Leffers Bear Family is very happy and cozy in a nice warm house and as long as the Mama and Papa Bear go to bed on time everything is just Right!

I just wanted to show all of the new bedding sets we've purchased in the last six months. I just love them! We took Luke out of his toddler bed and set up this twin bed that we got from Ang and Pete(Thanks Uncle Pete and Auntie Ang).

Starting 2011!

Look at the jolly New Year's couple celebrating at the cabin.
We had a fire and marshmellow roast with the boys. It was so cozy!

Andrew looking like a stunt skier. Grandma and Grandpa have a little pair of skis at the cabin for the kids to get started. Andrew was quite eager to learn. It's neat seeing how much he has changed in the last year from being so shy and timid to really wanting to experience new things. Great job Andrew!

So we spent a few days at the cabin with the kids and had a great time as usual. In a few years time it will be quite different when we hang out there, hopefully doing some skiing. I've only skied once there since I met Ken which seems so bizarre since his folks have a cabin right there. We've been busy with little ones! That's okay we really get to relax when we are there.

Happy New Year's!

Luke fell down the stairs at the cabin and landed on his face. Ouch!
Playing games and puzzling.

Isaac is a heavy load.

Hubby and me made it out for a snowshoe.

This is our regular picture spot at the cabin.

Girls Just Wanna Have fun!

This is Princess Hailey! Isn't she gorgeous? I just have to write on my blog about how much fun I had this week having so many girls in our house. We did some nails, hair, went shopping and watched The Sound of Music together. I love, love, love having Ken's brother, his wife and their 6 kids stay with us each Christmas. It sounds like total chaos I'm sure, but it is so much fun! The kids played so well together. Jocelyn even taught Andrew how to tie his laces and he is so proud. They all left today to head back to Edmonton and things sure seem quiet. No worries...there will be lots of reminders and good memories to reflect on. Already tonight when Andrew was playing with some cars we overheard him saying " this car is married to this other car." Ken figures it's time for them to have a day with Cousin Kevin to get back to a Boys world!

Leffers Get together.

Yumm Turkey!
30 of us this year and one on the way for Mel and Pete!

The cousins do a gift exchange and Grandpa and Grandma always give out chocolate letters and books to each grandchild.

Sam got a remote control jet plane.

I think Isaac has it figured out now!

Simone was so adorable playing with her gift in the middle of the gym floor all by herself. She got some new slippers too!

Luke giving Grandpa thank you hugs!

6 Leffers + 8 more Leffers all in one house for 6 days = lots of FUN!

Playdoh with the Edmonton cousins!
Lego with the cousins.

Sam skating at Birds of Prey.

This is just down the street from us. We put the boys skates on and drive over to unload them. We made lots of use of this pond lately with all of the cousins and the weather has been beautiful!

Isaac had his first haircut and was good as gold!
