Skating

Yesterday I took the kids skating. We were supposed to go as a family on Boxing day but I got really sick, so we had to wait. There is a great little lake down the street from our house where the kids can skate for free. This was Emma's first time ever skating. She did really well, and she fell a lot too... she has a great big bruise on her elbow today from one of her falls. Justin did a lot of roller blading this summer so that really helped in his skating.

Journey of a Shepherd

Justin and Mckay had the oportunity to be shepherds in the Nativity that our church puts on every year. It's really quite the event. Hundreds of people come to see it every year. This time it was even on the news. They put on five shows in two hours. It was really neat to watch my boys in it this year.

Nativity Sets

Last night Joelle and I went to a church in Edmonton that was displaying over 400 different nativity sets. It was really neat to see all of them. I of course didn't take pictures of all of them, but I did take some.


This one was a cake! The whole things is done with icing. This was the main reason we wanted to go to thins thing, is we heard about a nativity done with cake.


Ok this one was one of my favorites... I thought it was so cute. Where do people get these things?


This one was done with stained glass.
HEHE Sheep!

Trimming the Tree

We finally got to set up our tree today. I had to use it as a prop in our church Christmas play, so we have had to wait until now to set it up. We are so excited about Christmas, and this year we have two foster kids to add to the fun! So here are some tree trimming pictures.
