New Years Eve..
After Christmas celebrations of course came the New Year. This year, like every year, our church has a watch night service which is a lot fun. We eat, play games, and eat some more until after 12am. We played spoons which was really fun especially for those who have never played it before. Mikayla stayed up the whole time and she was really good. She usually starts getting cranky when she's tired but she just played and enjoyed herself. Daniel, on the other hand, was out by 9pm and didn't wake up until we headed home. John and I were relieved that the kids both went straight to bed as soon as we got home. We didn't get up the next morning until 10am! It took the kids two days to get back to their normal schedule again...

Brrrr.........it is freezing!
We've had such a funny winter... one week its warm with plus weather and the next week we're back to the bitter cold sub-zero weather! We've had quite a bit of snow too! Most of it is melted now but there was one day when we had so much snow in one day! The tree in front of our house was mostly covered in snow! So, while there was snow, we took advantage of it and took the kids out. Daniel didn't know what to think of it but mostly because he can't really move around in his snow suit. Mikayla, at first, cried when her hands got cold then later she figured out how to keep them warm--by actually wearing her gloves! Silly girl!
Since Sunday, we have had bitter cold weather... its so cold that just from our front door to the van we're already frozen! I can't wait for warmer weather.. I hope it comes soon!
