January 2018

Say it isn't so - THREE blog posts in one week?!?! Yup, Nathan for sure must be gone......;) But before he comes home, let's do January.

We welcomed the New Year like we have since, well, I have no idea for how long: with Jenn and Jay. It is always a fun-filled night and day (we sleep over).

We then headed up to Owen Sound to visit some dear friends of ours. There was so much snow, and it was SO cold, but the company kept us warm and cozy. We spent lots of time playing games, chatting, snowmobiling, chatting, playing and chatting. It was so nice!!
 
 
 Lincoln was quite outnumbered, as there were 4 girls and he was the only boy. The advantage of that is he went on a snowmobile "trip" for an hour or so, while the girls enjoyed sledding down the driveway.

"So, if I push this button, what will happen?"
 

We then combined the snowmobiling with the sledding, by pulling the sleds behind the machines. So much fun!!
 

These two are in the same grade. It took a bit before they were comfortable with each other, but once they discovered they both liked games, the shyness slipped away.
 The gang under 9 years of age...

Back home, we enjoyed the rest of our Christmas Break. Lincoln had this friend over for the first time and they got along amazingly well.
 

Once done playing outside, they played games for quite some time..
 

Lincoln roped in Opa, the opa that has played maybe 3 games in all his life, into a game...good ol' Connect4 :)

Lincoln loves playing games so much that even when he can't find anyone to play with him, he'll play by himself but as if there are two people playing! Love this!!

Lincoln was Star of the Week, which involved filling up a bristol board of pictures of him from the last 6 years. Man, he was so cute!

Nathan had received a 3D puzzle for Christmas. First, all the pieces had to be put together, and then it was ready to be put into 3D.
 
 Ta-da!! This is one puzzle that has not been taken apart yet....

This girl - the flashy and more patterns put together, the better. She thought her outfit she put together herself looked pretty good.....;)

Having some fun with slime!
 

These two have been such good friends since Kindergarten. They got along very well.

Apparently they had to share a chair together, too!!

Trying to beat mom...

Crazy Hair Day!!
 
 

My two goofs.

And that was January!! We had lots of snow, and some very cold days - but lots of sun as well. It was a good month :)
