Who goes there?

There must have been something in the backyard last night. She went on a wild sniff throughout the entire yard. Then of course, she had to play in the snow. And, she was digging a hole under a tree and then layed in it? Don't know what that's all about.

Christmas' Past

When I go to Mattawa after Christmas, I'm going to go through some of my parents old pictures and scan them. There are some pretty funny pictures of me growing up!

Until then, here are a few that my aunt had.

(Below) This is me standing infront of my Nanny and Grampa's tree. I guess I must have been about 3 years old. Every Christmas day, we would have dinner there. I still remember the smell when walking in the house. The turkey and stuffing...yum! The tree was always full of tinsel and there was country Christmas music playing and the TV was usually on some type of sport. The kids would be running around (I was the 3rd oldest Grandchild) and the parents never told us to be quiet or to stop. What great memories.

(Below) This is a picture of Me, Uncle Andy (holding me) my sister Joanne and my brother Brian. Guy wasn't born yet. I was so tiny when I was young. Don't ask about the hair!

Now below, you will find a later picture. Yes, that's me opening one of my tons of presents I used to get. But....every Christmas eve I had to go to bed with those darn rollers in my hair. Boy did that hurt! But, I had to have nice hair to go to Nanny and Grampa's. If you look at the picture, you will see that we had nice green shag carpeting and look at the beer bottle! It was probably O'Keefe. That's my brother Guy in those funky pajamas.

There will be more to come after I can get them scanned.

My Dad's Birthday

Happy 67th Birthday Dad!

I love this picture. It was taken 16 years ago and I don't think I would go with that style of dress now. Actually, thinking back, Roddy and I should have hopped on a plane and got married on a hot island. Why do we spend so much on weddings?

Avery's Sick Day

I kept Avery at home today because he wasn't feeling well. He has a cold, runny nose but no fever. But if you could get a good look at his eyes, you can tell he's just pooped out. So, missing a day of Grade 3 isn't such a big deal. He's an A student and could use a day off to rest. But, there's always time for a photo op! I was playing with settings on the camera and still can't get it right. I want a new camera....hint, hint!

Oh yeah, really looking sick there! :) Mya was licking him.

Happy with a Pokemon card. It doesn't take much to make him happy. Of course, Mya looks at his cards with him. Not that she's interested in the cards, but knows that he usually has crumbs somewhere around him.

Lazy Day

Well, whenever we get a snowfall, it seems to shut down the city. Maybe that's a good thing because there are a lot of people out there who don't know how to drive in the snow. We went out today and there were hardly any cars on the road. It was nice. After our little bit of running around, it's just time to veg in the house. Mya seems to like it better inside today. My son liked it better outside. He spent a few hours out there building forts and tunnels.

Taken from our front window, without even going outside! :)
