Holiday wrap-up

Many people's holidays have been over for days, but officially ours ends tomorrow.  Kids are back to school on Monday and Chris re-enters the crazy world of work and travel.  It's been a fantastic 16 day break and I'm sorry to see it end.

2013 now, and I suppose I'm supposed to be making resolutions.  I think I'd rather just keep on with the pledge to organize the house (since it's never been done since we moved in!) and keep things chugging along here.  I don't really understand these amazing working-out-of-the-house moms... I feel like my days are full keeping things organized without working at a job.  Salute to all you heroic women!

Here's a little photo collection from the last 2 + weeks.

Glowy, shiny, excited little boys

Bronchitis couldn't keep him down for long!  Antibiotics and gingerbread to the rescue! (Also, quality therapy dog!)

Sam unwraps his number 1 requested present:  the Magic Bullet.

And Charley squeals over his new best friend, the Abominable Snowmonster.

All other toys were forgotten after Charley learned of his new playmobil train.  Pretty awesome.  Ran the batteries down entirely the first day.

Sam samples his first smoothie care of the Magic Bullet.

The Ottawa boy cousins descended on Po-Ho for a couple days.  Fun and frolic!

Tobogganing in Millbrook.

Cute shot of 3/4 of the Ottawa crew.

They absolutely insisted on bringing them home.  Hey!  Whatever!

One bath for the little boys, and one for the big boys.

Best friends!

Oh!  And the tree!  The magical tree!  I have to take it down tomorrow and I'm so sad about it.  I would seriously keep it up forever.  We'll never find another as perfect as this one.

Well, Happy New Year to all.  I wish you wonderful and amazing adventures in the upcoming year.  Enjoy it all.  I know we will.
