More Christmas fun

Gracie and Mya did their first Christmas 2013 concert last night.  The concert was great and everyone remembered their lines.  Gracie did a big reading all on her own to a room full of people.  She is so brave!

We have also got our tree up :)

 

Its Christmas

Gracie and Mya went to visit Santa at Westport on Saturday.  There were crafts for the children to do and they had a great time.  All going well we will be going to choose the Christmas tree this weekend :)

 

 

We had some snow on Sunday and the children enjoyed playing outside.   The first winter storm has arrived and as I type this it is snowing outside and it looks like the snow is here for a while.

 

 

 

 

 

Halloween 2013

Halloween was great and the children came home with a bag full of candy each, that should keep them going until Christmas.  Mya was Tigger and Gracie was Wednesday Addams :)

 

 

 

 

Camping 2013

We went camping at Sand Lake for the weekend.  We had a great time and all came home very tired.  The weather was fantastic :)

Gone fishing....

We have been fishing at the locks over the past couple of weekends.  Gracie and Mya have caught several fish, Mick caught one and I have caught nothing, but I will try again.

The girls were in a concert at school and it was fantastic!

 

 

The weather has been cooler than this time last year, but we have still managed to get some swimming time :)

 

A few things we have been up to

It has been a busy few weeks in our household.  I wrote my car off about three weeks ago.  It was very scary and I am so glad I didn't have the children in the car with me.  Anyway, I am so pleased with my new van :)

We went to the Cataraqui Reserve (north of Kingston) to see how maple syrup is "made" today and how it was "made" many years ago.  It was lovely and will be on the calendar for next year!  The weather was perfect too.

Over the Easter break, Gracie and Mya did some painting.  They turned out very well and the masterpieces are hung up in their bedrooms.

Mya turned 7 two weeks ago and she had her birthday party at the movie theatre last Sunday.  She was so excited and everyone had a good time.
