Time flies when you're having fun! And it's been awhile since I've worked on the blog....I know, I'm lagging behind. So much has happened since the last update! School is over (well almost back on again now!), Steve went to Australia, we've had Christmas and New year's celebrations and of course, lots of other happenings in between.
With Christmas approaching, the lounge took on a festive look!
So cozy with the fire on, candles and fairy lights!
Cassie came over for a day and they did a big floor puzzle and were looking for all the objects around the edge and finding them somewhere in the puzzle. These two have so much fun together!
And finally Anthea's two friends Marlies and Natalie arrived!
And along with them came a whole lot of goodies! So exciting!
When Mum visited in July, she made myself and two little girls trace out our foot size on paper. The result were these beautiful warm slippers just in time for winter! Thanks mum, they are warm, snug and cozy!
On the last day of term, the high school students went iceskating and the elementary students went roller/inline skating. Shantel knew how to skate and had a wonderful time! She just flew around that rink!
On Saturday, Steve took some of the girls up Mt Baker. Natalie stayed behind and helped the girls cut out cookie shapes.
And here are the girls on the mountain!
Of course a snowman was a must!
So the house is filled with girls. Here they are planning or at least trying to!
So now that the cookies were baked, it was time to decorate them. The girls thought this was so much fun, especially licking the icing!
Not sure, but looks like icing got on her face too!
Not wanting to miss out on the fun, Jaclyn and Aliesha had a go at decorating too!
Their results were amazing!
We have two weird cooks but they did a great job cooking up a storm, oops I mean a meal for us.
Aliesha cutting up the fixings for a salad.
Jaclyn working on chicken cordon bleu.
And Elyssa was the supervisor/quality control manager!
The table was beautifully decorated!
And we had a crowd for dinner!
And a chocolate mousse pudding for dessert to finish it off! It was delicious girls! Great job!
The meal was a sort of farewell meal because the next morning Steve left for Australia. He had an opportunity to visit his parents who are getting older and was looking forward to spending some time with them. More photos of his visit there to come. Here he is at the airport ready to go through to the departure lounge.
Another project for the holidays was make/decorate gingerbread houses. One house and the train were shop bought and the other two houses were made with graham crackers and hot glue!
And the finished products!
That will be it for this post. The next update will be Christmas and the days following.
Thanks for looking!
