I should really remind the kids of what fun they had skating in December. Would it motivate them to finish cleaning up the rink?
Who needs perfect ice, as long as its frozen!!
We feasted on sinterklaas...which we celebrated when we felt like it. Later than traditionally done.
The ceremony of taking turns opening gifts and eating lots of special foods.
Melanie got books that might keep her busy for a weekend, maybe. If she paces herself.
Matthew got a wall hanging for his new bedroom.
Daniel built a holder for my globe pieces so we can actually enjoy the globe properly.
And he got a book he'd wished for but the library didn't have.
A book for Jennifer that she'll fly through.
Nathan got things too, but was hard to capture.
Seems like the book choices were acceptable.
Mostly.
Daniel needed practice,but he got it figured out pretty quickly!
We all got sprinkles for sinterklaas and they were delicious!
Melanie being helpful.
New shirt. He's actually a Canadian but doesn't admit it.
Melanie got her sisters into embroidery.
Time to clean up the library.
Enough snow for snowshoes? If you look for it in the right places.
Wow, clean floor AND table.
Jennifer made a gingerbread house from a kit. So easy! And she shared it sweetly too!
I wanted to refresh the walls since September. Done at last!
Enjoying her gifts.
Holidays are great. Time for games!
And crafts.
I couldn't believe that the kids let me have their homemade clay. It took them so long to make it! Thanks!!
Christmas Day was yet another livestream service. We finally set up two screens. Which helped with squashing and squabbling. A little.
Beautiful day for a walk! We got a lot of snow just in time for Christmas!
Which then needs to be plowed.
We had a book delivered to our door (the driveway wasn't actually plowed on the hill yet, so the deliverer had to get his shoes full of snow, poor guy) from church. The kids usually get a book and a chocolate after singing (or not) in the children's choir on Christmas Day.
We tried taking a family photo. With some of us.
Melanie helped me a lot with my project.
We called it quits instead of buying or making trees.
Enjoying the mats while getting geared up for skating.
And some poor kids had chemistry work to catch up on during the holidays.
