Winter so far...






















We had a fun-filled Christmas with family, and Drew received a lot of wonderful gifts. He loves when the family gets together--loves the activity, togetherness, and most of all, loves seeing his cousins, aunts and uncles! We always miss the Annessa's and Johnny and (usually) Matt, but he was able to come home on leave from the Army for a few weeks. It was great seeing him and spending time with him.
Drew loved messing up the tree again this year...good thing I had all plastic ornaments. I learned my lesson from last year :)

We started the New Year at the cottage, with the Madigans. It was a great weekend filled with board games, Wii, football (of course!), card games, great food and great fun. The only unfortunate thing was it rained instead of snowed, like I had hoped.. We wanted to go snowmobiling! The kids, Chris and Jim had a snowball fight after midnight on NYE with the remaining snow, so I guess they got to play in it a little. I have no idea how to organize the pics, but I hope you enjoy them!
I am counting down the days till our 'January is over' party. It is my least favorite month (like most people's!) and as of today, we only have 22 days left! WAHOOOOOO! Stay warm, and I hope 2011 brings you many blessings.

Thought for the Day

It isn't how you walk in life, but how you walk through life that matters.
