And the fun continued....

STANDING on the Long Lake!

Although the formal holiday gatherings were over, our break still had plenty of activity and fun to come! The day after Christmas we loaded up to visit Grandma and Grandpa Todd's cabin for the first time. Daddy helped Grandpa move some things in, and Mommy helped Grandma get a few things settled inside. The boys even helped with some of the cleaning and organizing. They also decided that Grandma's vacuum attachments make GREAT pirate swords.

We explored around the property, the boys did a little sledding, and we even walked out on the frozen lake. After rest and a nice supper, we enjoyed another round of Yahtzee. Friday brought our drive home with a stop off in the Dells at the Moose Jaw for lunch. The boys and mom all donned moose antlers!

Our arrival home required a massive grocery shopping trip and we also started in on a few projects. Upon checking out the mail we discovered that Jeremiah had a friend's birthday party on Saturday. Sunday brought a special gathering with many of mom and dad's college friends at the Kuipers' house. The boys enjoyed playing with the numerous other kids in attendance. Andrew found his way to mischief with Owen St. Peters when they decided to "feed" Claire's fish with some baby powder! Quick work by the dads saved the fish!

For New Year's eve we enjoyed a quiet night in. Daddy made milk shakes, we watched a few Charlie Brown shows and played Wii. Both boys hung on to watch the ball drop on the east coast and help us toast with some sparkling apple juice. The boys sleplt in the next morning and then appeased mommy by watching the Rose Bowl parade with her.
