Merry Christmas everyone.

Will and Cecilia are out for some fresh air, both suffering from a bit of a cold and both a bit grumpy. Above that thoughare the three all together with Mt Albert lit up behind and finally MadB at her Christmas concert, we'll get more of those up next.

Will got out for a ski on the weekend. It was a beautiful day. The three kids are getting pretty excited about Xmas, and we hope everyone else is as well. We had fun time picking things up for Josie today, MadB was particularly kean on the shopping and selection of gifts.

Cecilia and I went for coffee with Belle. They wanted their photo done with the Christmas decorations.
Madeleine received the high five award last week for showing excellent qualities of studenting. You can see by the look in her eyes being photographed by dad was the only embarassing part.
Will is posing with the Xmas tree and his favourite ornament, except you can't see it.

I got to ski yesterday and there sure was a lot of snow. I did eight quick runs in 3 hours and found some really sweet snow even after showing at 1030. No pictures, though you can all check out the revelstoke mountain resort website ( www.revelstokemountainresort.com ) to seee what you are missing. Also check out the Revelstoke Times Review website ( www.revelstoketimesreview.com ) for some pictures of the bar's Movember photos. I have a cool mustache. Here is the sunset, Maddie and a snow man, and CeeCee's first haircut. Kids are fine just swimming and skating this weekend, probably skiiing next one.

We tried some skiing in the yard today as coverage was excellent. Will has logged some serious time on his nordic skiis and was dying to try the downhill skiis acquired from the Bollefers. There is a great community of parents here that gets gear around and used as it can be very expensive to have to rent or buy gear all the time. We have some stuff that can be passed along too if anyone needing it wants to take a look. Madeleine got out today to do some crosscountry and really impressed me with all that she remembered from her lessons last year, it was pretty awesome. I was in snowshoes and had to run to keep up a lot of the time. She also was a big help To her brother, he actually said that " Maddie already taught me how to ski I don't need lessons". At the end of the trip she was also the cause of his frustration as she was so quick.
