I need a little Christmas, right this very minute

Christmas morning after picture.

Baby Paxton on Christmas morning bad picture again in the car seat. We need to try harder!

I'll betcha 2 bucks there is a doe in my backyard!

These 2 young bucks are showing off for a doe that is outside the photo. It was a bit difficult to get the picture, but worth it since I haven't seen this before despite our daily deer visits.

Where there's fire there's smoke

Where there's fire there's smoke. The hazy special effects are courtesy of the fire pit at Thanksgiving Point. We all enjoyed driving through the Christmas lights, then visiting the reindeer.Dawson is modelling the 3D glasses.

Three boys sleep over for the weekend

Dawson is reading to his little brothers in our bed. It started with one - then 2 - then 3 up on the bed with us until Mark had to leave to make room Sunday morning. We had the boys for the weekend to give their mom and dad a rest with new baby.

Shopping with Roman

Could this boy be any cuter! Every store we went into people commented,"He's so cute!" We are at Eddie Bauer where he could be one of their manikins if they sold children's sweaters.Tyfani's cute pregnant belly is in the background.

My candidate to play Major Pettigrew

At book club we played "who should play the characters in the movie?" We read "Major Pettigrew's Last Stand" which I highly recommend. We were allowed to choose an actor living or dead for each character in the book. I chose David Niven to play the major. I know I am right and here is the picture to prove it.

I sure hope my Canadian family still looks at these pictures

Cherrios were the greatest breakfast item ever invented. Nico's dad continues to teach his baby sons the important skill of drinking the rest of the milk from the bowl.


Nico came to visit - we went outside on the deck to see the deer or as he said "Dog". Apparently every animal is a dog.
I try to post a weekly picture for my far-away family. They aren't much for facebook these Canucks and really I don't need 200 people looking at every picture I take of my adorable grandchildren. I know they don't comment, but they better be looking or I can save myself a lot of time.Yes, you know who you are - email me.
