Life with us - moments and memories

Sorry for the lack of updates lately. It's been a busy December, with much to be thankful for...
~several family birthdays including Auntie Jody's and Oma's and my own
~finishing and printing our new family calendar in time for Christmas
~a day of building a new garage for Auntie Jody...it's coming along nicely (sorry, no pictures yet)!
~a few days away to Big White with Brian's family for skiing, sledding and lovely family time
~enjoying extra special time with Carolyn and Brody, and meeting sweet little Clayton for the first time
~a Terpstra Christmas dinner on Christmas Eve
~a quieter Christmas with my family at Mom and Dad's
~an evening of supper and silliness on Boxing Day with dear friends
So a lot went on...A few pictures of the highlights :)
