The world outside just feels quieter with a good thick blanket of snow over it. Something like 10 cm was projected for tonight! The kids are in heaven! 

More snow

Trinity didn’t go sledding with the boys and Ken so she got to choose a special thing… addict that she is (like her mother) she chose a slurpee. So we had to kit up in our gear and tromp through the falling snow to get one for each of us! 

You can just see the baby sneaking on for the kill... she ALMOST got to the slurpees before Ken grabbed her. She HATES Pepsi so far but will keep trying to steal sips thinking that THAT TIME she will like it!

We also did today’s Advent craft together. We made Holly Brooches. Seriously go to Activity Village and check each day out! I woke up this morning to their houses already coloured! Of course Trinity came up with an AMAZING plan – we are making OUR brooches into HAIR CLIPS! So that decides my hair thing for Christmas. Now all I need is a pretty new shirt and I am set. 

Holly ready for clips

There is also a video I wanted to share with everyone! This is a 16 yr old boy from Winnipeg and his rendition of the Little Drummer Boy song! Absolutely AMAZING! 

Now back to our day – Ken decided to not take the boys to the museum and art gallery for the drop in, instead letting them play games in the basement and then go sledding! Talk about excitement. They went to the hill near our church which was a bit small but plans have been made to go to a BIGGER hill tomorrow.

Sean has come for the weekend so we have added company… and then there is tomorrow’s Sunday School pageant practice to deal with. Ken would rather take the 4 involved and leave Echo here so that makes it a little easier on me. Though I still have a mountain to face on the kitchen table… Things ARE getting done and that is what matters.
