Since I haven't posted much lately, I wanted to, at least, share some pictures so you could see a little of what we've been doing.
My (sometimes) angel, making a snow angel!
And another snow angel...
Sky helping Mommy mix up some Pumpkin Bread, something we can't have Christmas without!
There's nothing better than the smell of Pumpkin Bread baking in the oven! We made little loaves for the neighbours and a big one for our Christmas dinner.
With the temperatures being so extremely cold, we are not able to take leisurely walks to look at Christmas lights. Edmonton has just the thing for December evenings, such as these! Every year this park puts up huge light displays and it's drive-thru only. The kids were so excited because they got to take their seat belts off and stand up in the car!
We let the kids hang out the window and take pictures too. So, we had quite a few blurry ones, but Sky took this one and it turned out great.
I took this one - it was my favourite.
Saturday evening we went to a performance of Handel's Messiah. Joshua's parents were also there (they treated!), along with his sister and former piano teacher. It was beautiful, but the kids were supremely bored. At the intermission, I asked Dad who's idea it was to bring the kids. :-) So, Grandpa took the kids for a walk and bought them ice cream during the intermission. Then, he held Sky on his lap for the second half. Let's just say that standing up for the Hallelujah Chorus was a blessed relief! Here's the only picture I got of the kids with happy faces that evening! Don't you just love Sky's little vest?!
Just a couple of days ago, we made these cute little wreaths. They were a major hit and only lasted a few hours! I'll be posting the recipe on Recipeasy later tonight.

wow, you are one busy family :) Thank you for sharing all the picture
Can't imagine being tortured with Handel's Messiah when I was their age, but I love it now! You're raising cultured children -like it or not. And, those wreaths definitely look fun!
It's 1:42am on Christmas morning and instead of being nestled, all snug in my bed, I'm sitting up, reading you blog and waiting for the 2 youngest kids to fall asleep so that I can sneak down the stairs and eat the cookies and milk they left for Santa.
Merry Christmas, Knaaks!!!
