The children first put up the tree, then they made a gingerbread house, which we still need to take pictures of before they decided to tear into it...lol
These pictures where taken Christmas Eve. We went out for dinner and then came back to the apartment to watch a Christmas movie. (It's a wonderful Life). The kids decided that they wanted to learn how to knit...so...that is what we did.
We were getting ready for bed and blowing up a mattress for Mitchell, since I have a two bedroom apartment, when Susie and her son Liam dropped in to exchange presents. They are our neighbours and my bestest friend here in Montreal. We always have so much fun when we get together.
Once the children started opening presents..that was it...they couldn't stop!! So our plans for opening the gifts in the morning didn't fly...lol We ended up staying up and opening presents with our company and a bottle of Ouzo...lol
Mitchell almost split a gut when he opened one of his gifts from me, since at dinner he was telling me how much he hated to wear a robe...his gift from me....a ROBE!! lol
Nick was opening his present from Mom and Hubbie, he really liked it and can't wait to use it at the house:) At this time, we would really like to say THANK YOU to everyone who sent presents and had us in their hearts this Christmas...we love you all.
We had Christmas Lunch at Nick's parents...It was lovely with Turkey and all the fixings. We went home and went to bed early for our early morning ski trip. (early wasn't early--9:30 the boys got up) So we ended up skiing at Vallee Bleu from 12-4.
The picture above is of the two kids having their healthy lunch at the lodge...lol The two always seem to be laughing and having fun. Nick and I always say how blessed we are that they get along so well, and Mitchell really watches out for Sarah. I love them both so very much.
The two kids walking to the lift after they had their 10 minute lunch...they don't stop much while they are skiing, we really get our monies worth with them. They only came in after 4. The lift stops at 4 and they squeezed in the last run.
The two of them on the chair lift. We really love this hill. It is family oriented and tucked away behind hills. The runs are not too difficult so we don't have to worry about them.
We decided to stay up north overnight so that we could fit in another day of skiing before Sarah was to be dropped off at her dad until the new year. Nick made meatballs and pasta. Very yummy, it isn't the normal place we stay but it had everything we needed for an over night trip.
Unfortunately, we didn't get to ski the next day since we were having rain. Here are the two kids scraping off the inch of ice on the van.

They were really disappointed, but nothing Guitar Hero didn't solve...hehehe
