Sorry to those of you with dial up....I loaded a bunch of pictures!
Lets start with my Anna baby. Here is just a cute shot that I got of her, sucking her thumb as always, I think that I am going to have to start saving for braces....

Here are a few pictures from December 15th. This is the Hart family Christmas at Mike and Jodie's house. A bunch of us went sledding in the cold windy weather. It was fun but my kids didn't last long, so I didn't get to sled much. We also sang some carols together. It was nice. I played the piano and Noah played the violin for a few songs. Jodie also played her recorder ( I can't remember what it's actually called) After a yummy dinner of lots of appetizers, Mike started a fire in the fireplace downstairs and we all had some yummy chocolate trifle down there.


This is the baby that Anna got from Opa and Oma for Christmas.

Aidan got Muck, to replace the one we lost at the cottage. He was thrilled!

The next day was a snowy day. This is what my door looked like. Church was canceled that day due to the storm. We have Brian and Alanna over that day for coffee and lunch.

We also opened our family presents that day. Aidan was thrilled with his new Thomas DVD's!

Anna got a box of Winnie the Pooh books

Aidan got another train set. He loved it and we had to build it right away!

Anna got a magnadoodle! She loves to colour but she always ends up eating the crayon, so this is a better option for her.

December 21st. Christmas dinner and presents with my family. My mom made a great lasagna with goat cheese for dinner! Mmmm.
Here's two of my Santa's!

Doesn't she look guilty? She got into the chocolate....

We got fleece sheets for Christmas, so we had to try out Mom and Dad's to see what they felt like! Very cozy!

Christmas Eve: Robertson Christmas. We were supposed to go to my Grandparents for Christmas but it didn't work out so we went to my parents instead. My grandparents couldn't make it though.
Here's the yummy dinner My mom and and aunt made!

Anna got his big doggy from my Uncle Al and Aunt Lynda. She loves cozy animals, so she loved this!

Playing in the snow! Eric dug a snow fort out the bank in front of our house. The kids liked it. Anna is not too crazy about being bundled up so she normally doesn't last too long outside.

We hosted a new years party at our house. We had a western theme and encouraged people to dress up. Here's our family of cowboys and girls!

Everyone dressed up It was fun to see what they came up with. Jodie and Mike won first and second prize for best dressed.

Introducing Timothy James Sommer! He came into the world on December 30th, 2007. He was about 2.5 weeks early. He weighed 8 lbs, 13oz. Isn't he cute! Ken, Shauna and Kate are very proud.

On New Years day we got lots more snow. Eric used the reach machine to make another big pile on our lawn. Then the snow fort got a roof! The kids thought that it was great! It was a bit of a tight fit!

Here's another guilty look. Lately Anna wants to play at the table with Aidan. If she can't reach something she will just crawl right on. Busted!

On January 4th we had one last Christmas party. My grandparents were able to come! So we have Mandarin take out for dinner and then more presents!
Anna got a little peoples house and a tea set. She loves them both! I now drink lots of pretend tea!


Anna got 3 John Deere Machine! A digger, and loader and a grader. He was absolutely thrilled! All he wanted for Christmas was a digger like his cousin Lucas!

Anna had lots of fun playing in the box that her presents came in!

Aidan being a goof getting his PJ's on!

More snow fun! How do you like Eric's snowman with the belly button!

Anna loves the slide in the winter too! I think that it's a bit more slippery in the winter!

We ordered a food order from Direct Fine Foods. This was all the pantry stuff that we got, and my freezer is packed full too! So far so good! very yummy meat. If any of you want to guve it a try, just give them our name when you order!

Last saturday we took the kids to the skating rink at the park near our house. It was really cold so we didn't stay too long. But Aidan had lots of fun! He used the bob skates that I got on freecycle so that he didn't fal too much. He also loved to run around on his boots and slip and slide!

This is Eric and Anna playing ( i know i won't spell it right) Olika, Bolika. It's a dutch hand game that she thinks is hilarious!

Whew! That's all for now!!
Thanks for the update Becky! Looks like you had a great Christmas and new years. I'm jealous that you have Anna's baby book done!:) I'm just a *tad* behind on my scrapbooking... Oh well, there is a season for everything, right?
