Friday was such a great day!! The snow started to melt and the weather was amazing. The boys played outside for over an hour and had a blast. Soaked by the time they came in, but it was worth it!!

Perfect snowman snow!!!! Jack's little snowman.

Sunnie was more interested in eating the snow.

Twins. I get bugged all the time that I like to match them all the time.

Feel the love!!

They have good moments.

Winter arrived again this past week. This was what we woke up to last Sunday morning. The camera didn't really capture the blizzard conditions. Not a fan of -47.

Samson and his little friend Ang sharing a morning snack.

Samson loves to help any opportunity he can.

I realized after finishing most of this post that everything is backwards. The bottom of this post is the start and the top most resent. So while going through it you will notice things a bit messed up.

This is Jackson's potty party!!! He successfully after many months did a number two yesterday. So we had a potty party and he finally got to open a gift he picked out special for this occasion. After supper we made A&W root beer floats. YUM!!!! Jackson first float and he loved it!!!! He asked first thing this morning if we could please have more ice cream with pop in it.

Enjoying some ice cream. Way to go Big Brother!!!

Samson super sick and teething. Check out the spit filled shirt.

Jackson and Cousin Beanie making mashed potato's. Jackson was so happy to help!

The boys each got a train set from Grandma and Papa. We put the two together to make one giant track. The boys love it.

Papa checking it out.

Papa and Grandma Nelson opening the first gift of the evening. A digital camera from all of us!!!

Christmas time and Happy about it!!

Grandpa even got a turn and gift from Santa.

Samson's turn. Not so thrilled or excited.

A chance to sit on Santa's knee. A little bashful but equally excited.

Samson wasn't so sure.

Santa came to Grandpa Adu-Darko's surprise Birthday party. Jackson was thrilled!!

A gift for the boys to share. ABC puzzle. HUGE puzzle which is never seen put together.

Jackson's first gift. A Diago lego set. Long time coming. He saw this everytime we would go to a toy department and wish he could just have it.

We had our own family Christmas before heading down to Calgary for the big Christmas with all our families. This was Samson starting with his stocking. A little overwhelmed and not so sure what was going on.

This is Jackson's Sunday school class. Owen hadn't arrived yet. Doesn't he look impressed? They looked so cute.

They did such a great job. Jackson was so funny. When he caught be taking pictures he started to wave, and after every song he would give a thumbs up. We are so proud he actually stayed up and did the whole program. Way to go Jackson!!

... the stars in the bright sky....

Santa came to church yesterday. The boys were stunned and excited. Santa is known in our house as the one you get a candy cane from and a happy picture.

.... And a happy new year. God bless.

Thanks Budds for the sled. He loves it!!!

Snow angels!!

Cutiest puppy I've ever seen!!

Snowboys!!

The weather was great yesterday morning. After school, we played for about an hour before coming home. We had a blast!

Jackson, puppy and teddy having a picnic.

The other morning we were looking for Samson. It was still dark out and we search for almost five minutes or so before turning on the light. He scared me when I went behind the love seat to flip the light on and he was sitting ever so quiet in the basket. He was having a quiet moment with his morning milk fix he just can't kick, and started to cry when I turned on the light and was found. It could have been my scream I suppose.

Goof!!

Stockings all hung in a row.

This basket is for blankets, but Samson has now turned it into his new lounging spot.

Jackson, Shar, Lauren and a few other new girlfriends.

First band-aid.

About a month ago we took some family pictures for Christmas. Here is a peek.
