We had a little get together at Uncle Kirk and Aunt Jackie's house. Uncle Mike, Aunt Laura and Justice were there. The kids got a lot of good stuff again!

We've had a busy past few days. On Christmas Eve, We had a nice dinner with Grammie and Grandpa. They slept over night and spent Christmas Morning with us. For dinner we went to Uncle Gary and Aunt Jackie's house. Lots of fun, very loud, great food. On Boxing Day we had our neighbours and friends come by! Kind of looking forward to a nice quiet day at work on Monday!

Yesterday we went to my friend Jody's house for a Christmas party. During the party, Santa showed up at the door!! The kids were all excited. All the children got a present. Andrew and Nathan each got a Webkinz.

This week the boys had their Christmas concert (school concert...daycare concert is next week). Andrew is excellent at singing and doing the actions. Nathan sings half the time and the other half he's making weird faces.

Bob is trying to build an ice rink in the backyard...it was going well until Sunday when it rained and the temperature went up to 8 degrees! Oh well, we'll have to flood it again and hope the temperature drops.

Went to the Oshawa Generals game last night. Andrew and Nathan were SO bored! Tried to keep them occupied with popcorn and nachos but it didn't work. We left after the second period. Nathan just kept asking "when is the zamboni going to come out?"

The kids are done school this Friday for a couple of weeks so they will be going to daycare next week. I have no vacation days left...Bob may have a couple of days.
Almost ready for Christmas!

The Christmas decorations are out...the tree is up! Almost ready from Christmas...
Hard to get a good picture of the kids these days...if they are touching each other, they will start wrestling. Never fails.

Today Andrew received the "Golden Eagle" award for his class. Each month the teacher picks a few students from each class to receive this award. This month it was for "Responsibility". So Bob and I went to the school this morning and there was a presentation for all the kids from Kindergarten to Grade 3. They called Andrew up to the front and he was very happy to receive this award!! Good job Andrew!

Tonight it was parent/teacher interview night. Nathan's teacher said that he is one of the most improved Junior Kindergarten students. He listens well, raises his hand when he wants to talk, is well behaved, knows the alphabet and numbers.
Andrew's teacher said that Andrew is very social, everyone likes him, he loves to participate, and he's very smart! So they are both doing well in school which was nice to hear.

Weekend Update...

Well, not much to update because I have been sick since Wednesday. I had a throat infection, got antibiotics for it, but then had a fever on and off until Sunday.
Finally feeling better now. Andrew's fever which I thought had gone away, came back for a couple of days. He's also better now.

Bob put up the Christmas lights outside on the weekend and we put up the Christmas tree tonight. The boys are very excited about Christmas this year!
