a Fresh Start to a New year!

SO here we go! a Fresh start to a whole new year!. New beginnings are upon us!
Christmas was Wonderful, we didnt make it to Edmonton or Penticton to spend Christmas Day with Jaret's parents or mine. But we had a wonderful day just the 4 of us, and went for dinner at some friends of ours, It was SOOOO Tastey!!! =) thank you for the Invite Deb, Barry & Alicia!.
We drove to Edmonton on the 28. The 29 was Noah's 3rd Birthday and what a great day that was, we celebrated by opening presents with Uncle Adam Uncle Justin, My Dad, Mama C, Jaret, Linden and I. We had a HUGE OMG to die for steak lunch/dinner as it was our Christmas Day as well with my Parents and Little Brothers. Noah had a Cinnamon bun for his cake, (gotta change it up a bit!!) and he was spoiled of course!. Then we opened presents for Christmas, and That was awesome! I made Blankets for Adam and Justin this year, thought I'd do somthing different and somthing they could really get attatched to, That they are!. Jaret and I got a bunch of great stuff and a New Deep Freeze! THANK GOD!! we needed one pretty bad!.

December 30 we headed to my Brother and Jordan's house for some turkey dinner, and Christmas with them and My Mom. WOW the house smelled SOO Good as soon as you drove up!!!!. As usual Matt's house was decadently Decorated with fancy Christmas smelling scents, and treats, and decorations, I felt so bad for even just looking, cause well with 2 kids, things can really fall apart, and look like a tornado came through!!!. But Dinner was amazing the kids got some fantastic new gear! Great toys!! and Jaret and I got a new Tony Hawk Ride, we havnt had much of a chance to sit ... well stand and play it, but I think since christmas is over, and we dont have to leave the house as much we'll be pro's in no time flat!. Mom got Noah a pretty rad Car's cake for his birthday and a bunch of new cars gear!.

New years eve we took Noah skating.. haha what a good times that was... it was FREEZING OUT... like -25 or more. BUT we had to, Grandma and Grandpa got Noah new skates for christmas, and we HAD TO use them, let alone Jaret and I got new skates too!, so we headed out to the rink down the street all bundled up,... Noah enjoyed it. was a little miffed he couldnt have a hockey stick like his Uncle's though!!!. We're gunna have to take him out this weekend, again and get him practicing!! For New years we just hung out at home with the parent's and some of their friends, Very nice people and they have 2 little boys as well, their oldest really took to Noah this time, makeing sure he was okay in the pool, and feeding him LOADS of treats... I am suprised neithe of the 2 threw up!!!!. It was a Great way to bring in the new year, great food, and good company!.
