Week 48-52 in Pictures (Jane)

Our computer has been in the "hospital" for a while, so I've missed keeping up with our "week in pictures" series, but I want to finish out the year with a little collection of shots from December.





We spent a delightful weekend in Traverse City at the Grand Traverse Resort (and Spa) in early December.  We went for Isaac's hockey tournament, but I didn't take a single hockey picture.  We did spend a lot of time in the pool and got completely hooked on HGTV.


Grace and I doing a little Christmas-y baking.  These maple roll-out cookies are one of my favourites!




Isaac turned ELEVEN!  He is such a sweet boy.  I hope he never grows out of his sensitive self.  All of my kids like to light their own birthday candles - control issues or the thrill of playing with fire??



 It was a white Christmas this year!  We've had a few days off from school - SNOW DAY!!!





The outdoor rink is such a big hit with our kids (not including Grace who refuses to skate).  We skated Christmas Eve and Christmas Day...






                              Some of the cousins on Christmas Day at G&G's house.





We got together with almost all of the siblings and cousins to decorate gingerbread houses!





 The next day we went for a sleigh ride to the sugar bush for a bonfire with the McRae's!








Then Katie and her family came and we didn't take a single picture..... that went by in a blur!

                                           ......and that was 2012 in our family.
