It's been a while since I posted but here we go again! My son and family came to us just before Christmas and we celebrated Olivia's birthday as well on the 19th December. Here they are below, making Christmas cookies at our house. My daughter in law has far more patience than I ever had!!! You can see the snow out the window!




Below, they are going out on the snow machines, my son has a child in front of him, not sure which one and the dogs are finding the whole thing very interesting!



Abigail has a little friend the same age as her who has leukaemia and spends a lot of time in hospital and she like to write him lots of letters. She wanted to write one from Gramma's house and here she is mailing it with a doggy escort!







Olivia below, opening her birthday card and below that, in her birthday dress which she later puked all over and I spent the rest of the time trying to get the stains out!!





We only have two bedrooms so we have to get the most from the second one. We have two double beds and on the top of one is a single bed and in the family room we have a double futon so we have seven extra sleeping spots quite easily managed.The girls are playing on the top bunk in this pic. Ethan has the stand alone bed and Olivia sleeps in the bottom double. It all works quite well!!





Just a pic of two of our dogs leading a dogs life!



Olivia above and Abigail below modelling the watermelon hats and coloured jackets I made them.I knit a lot for all the kids but they wanted their picture taken so here they are!



Just a little something of interest! I don't know to whom but we found it interesting and sad. A little mouse who had been trapped in this electrical box in our kitchen and we didn't know it so the poor thing starved to death. I don't mind people killing mice as long as done humanely and quickly but the thought of this poor little thing starving under my nose is not nice.
