One thing that this move has taught me is that Heavenly father knows each of us and he helps us out when we need it. We have recently moved way to far away from home to Lexington Kentucky , and at about the same time my brother Mike and his wife Shannon moved their family way to far away from home to Delaware Ontario. Well what do ya know Delaware happens to be just 8 hours away from Lexington!! It is seriously such a relief to have some family so close (when your this far from home 8 hours seems like 8 minutes) so what I am getting at is that we went to Ontario for CHRISTMAS! We missed everyone at home, but we had such a fun time together! (warning picture overload, but neither of our parents got to be with us so this is for them)
These are pictures of Christmas eve. We went to a party at Mike and Shannon's friends house and it was so much fun. The kids made and decorated cookies for Santa and what do you know the big man himself showed up! Note that in this picture all the kids are jumping up and down excited to see Santa and then there was Luke... perfectly happy sitting in the middle of the floor drawing in his notebook. He could not have cared less that Santa was there, so funny.
Lily finally warmed up to him, and Chelsea just loved sitting on his lap!
Christmas morning lined up ready to go see if Santa came!
These were some spoiled kids, the basement looked like it had exploded. Eventually Luke liked his presents but for the first hour he was just happy that he got like 5 notebooks in his stalking. He wouldn't even look at anything else he just wanted his notebooks.
Lily was so stinkin cute pushing her baby in her stroller she would also sit and feed it a bottle...so cute.
Fun little cousins! Jacob loved Lily he would follow her around all day saying baby baby baby, and Chelsea, Hali and Clair were such good little babysitters. I would hear Clair talking to Lily saying "It's ok your mother won't leave you she'll be right back" or to Luke she would say "It's ok buddy your not in trouble you just need to say sorry" or other times I would hear "LUKE...He is not allowed in my room ever again" it ws so funny. We seriously had such a nice relaxing time, we stayed up way to late ate waay to much and were way to unproductive...Ahhh a perfect Christmas!!
These pictures really don't do it justice but these trees are just thick with ice.
This picture really is looking out my front door and no there is not usually a tree in our front walk. That huge tree branch is usually in front of my bedroom window upstairs. I hope the poor thing doesn't break off, but I know it's close. Ramsey couldn't even park in the garage today because it is blocked with a huge branch that did break off! I was watching the news and I guess a lot of people are without power and they are having to sleep in high school gym's and stuff. I feel kinda guilty, I've been curled up next to a nice cozy fire all evening. Anyway I'm a Canadian girl so snow doesn't scare me but this ice is kinda crazy!
