I thought we better get a few things in here before Spring is upon us! With today's weather, I probably shouldn't be holding my breath for Spring, however!
This picture below would have been super cute.
Let me explain.
Every year; yes, every single year, McKay asks for a gingerbread house for Christmas. Every year, Santa brings him one. This year, Santa brought him a whole village! What was Santa thinking???? So, McKay and I sat down to work on the village while Brett was teaching Connor how to use his new snowboard.
First picture of the day, and Brett walks by just as I'm taking it and sticks his finger up McKay's nose. At the time, I was bugged, but now, I love that Brett's finger is in that picture. You can tell I miss him. You know it's bad when his oddly placed finger that "messes up" the picture doesn't bother me, but makes me teary......

About half of the 5,000 pieces to the village.
|
 |
| The first piece! Oooh-la-la! |
 |
| After and hour, the first house is finished. This is going to be a long, but FUN project |
 |
| McKay loving every minute of it!! |
 |
| The Finished Product: The Village. This picture does not give it justice. It doesn't even look like that much work! You're all going to think I'm a whiner!!! Needless to say, the time spent with Mick was well worth it. It's fun to see how his little brain works when it comes to creativity. I know I will look back on these one-on-one times with fondness. |
On to the rest of the family......
Connor got a real snowboard for Christmas and was so excited to practice with it in the park behind our house. We've got a few perfect-sized hills out there that are just great for beginners. It's a process to learn, but Connor's really picking up the skill.
 |
Brett was so patient teaching him how to board.

 |
| After a wipe-out |
 |
| Way to go!!!! He's got it!!! |
 |
Getting the hang of it!

| Beautiful sunrise! |
