Christmas Flash Mob!

Just a little video to get you into the Christmas spirit!

Thanksgiving 2012

It was really nice this year to be able to enjoy Thanksgiving up north at my brothers place. That same weekend it was my mom and my dad's birthdays which made it even more special.

Karina absolutely loved Chewie. Every time she saw Chewie she would start laughing. It was adorable!

Long Weekend with the Family

This labour day weekend was a wedding weekend for my cousin James and so all us family travelled up to the Sault to celebrate with him. It was very tiring, but worth every moment. Here are a few pics!

Father's Day

Our family was lucky enough to get to spend almost 2 days together as a whole family on Father's Day weekend. This doesn't happen much anymore with everyone in different cities and busy with life, which makes it extra special when it does happen. The new babies are both growing and adorable!

 This is Evan, Mark and Andrew playing some soccer.

MEXICO!

My friend Christine and I had an amazing time in Mexico! That was my first trip down south to a resort and it was alot of fun. The heat was hard on me though, I have to admit, but we still had a great time. Here are some pictures to share the experience!

Mom, Kristi and I took a quick trip up to Sudbury this Easter to see Karina! And we also swung by Hamilton on the way back on Sunday to see Petra! Wow, what a tiring weekend but it was awesome. Thanks for welcoming us on such short notice Mark and Averil!

Easter Sunday!

He is RISEN!!!

Happy Easter everyone!!



Lyrics:

How do we know we’ve been forgiven?
How do we know that we have been made clean?
How do we know we’ll go to heaven?
How do we know we’ve been redeemed?

You have been raised, the tomb has been opened
Nothing can take away our hope in You
You have been raised
You have been raised, the work is completed
Hell and its powers have been defeated
You have been raised

Now we are free from condemnation
There is no judgment left for us to fear
We don’t have to wonder if we’re welcome
You are the One who’s brought us near

The price You paid for us
Has fully been accepted
Because of Your shed blood
We cannot be rejected

Christmas with the Family!

All I can say is, Christmas was great!!! I love my family so much. Here are some pictures that capture some of the great moments - especially moments with Evan and Chewie!

Trip Home!

So since it was my 25th birthday this year, I decided I'd enjoy a few days off at home with my parents, Kristi and Chewie! Mom and I headed to Frankenmuth and Birch Run for a couple days of shopping. That was a really nice treat for us. I really enjoyed the famous Christmas store Bronners! And then when we got back, we just hung out at home for a few days. It was fun. Just the break I needed. Here are a few pics!

Thanksgiving!

Michael and I had a great time on Sunday in Windsor celebrating Thanksgiving and my mom and dad's birthdays. Mom cooked a turkey which was delicious and Grandma and Grandpa brought a birthday cake. We played some fun games and introduced Michael to the family game of Wizard. And of course we spent some time with Chewie too!
Here are a few photos:

Long Weekend!

Had a great Labour Day weekend!

Started off with my first "official" date with Michael which was so much fun and he bought me a purple cowboy hat at the fair! haha And then had a great day Saturday relaxing and doing some cleaning and some shopping and then Sunday - Mom Dad Kristi and Chewie came for a visit. It was the perfect day - church in the morning, nap then mom and dad helped me with some furniture I found at a thift store and then we played games, ate supper, hung out and dad answered all my Bible questions haha. Then Monday was the perfect day of rest.
Here are a few pics:
