The last of the Christmas celebrations with Erik's family were held outdoors around a bonfire.  Thankfully we were all able to be together, the fire was hot and the kids had fun running around.  Of course we missed all of the delicious food and not being able to just lay around and enjoy each other's company for the whole day.  Hopefully soon we can have a day like that!  

The boys have been LOVING ice skating this year.  I can't tell you how many hours they've spent at the rink.  I do know that in one weekend, Kade put over 11 hours on the ice with his buddy, Owen.  That's just 2 days!  He's been there almost every day for the past 2 weeks!!  Mason isn't quite that dedicated but he has skated more than I ever thought he would.  I think they realized that the only way they're going to be able to socialize with friends is if they're outside and what better way to pass the time than skating and playing hockey?!

This is the first time putting their skates on for the year.

Baby Owen!

Their shed is every kid's (and dad's) dream!
