After another feast, we open gifts downstairs.

Traditional Family Picture

Each of the 4 families sits for the traditional annual photo on the couch.

Gerald the Business Man

Even he has a cell phone now!

Sliding at Leslie's in Marshall

Every winter, we have sooo much fun sliding down the hill at the school with the grandchildren.

Tyler and Bennett

Bennett loves the race car, and also the way the cat would try and pounce on his car when it went by!

Beautiful Weather

The sun was out, and the temperature was agreeable. We had to go sliding again the next day!

And Then Cold Again!

We had a lot of very cold weather this year, though it makes for a pretty picture, as long as your indoors or somewhere warm.

Grandpa and the Kids

We have too much fun when they stay over with us.

Lulubelle, our Neighbour

She enjoys coming over for the occasional glass of wine, and enjoys the grandchildren as much as we do.

The Boys Outside

Despite the bitter cold weather, Sawyer and Easton love to play outside.

Dressed Up to Party

They made sure to bring their finest clothes for the New Year's Eve Party.

Their First New Year's Eve Party

Did they ever have fun, dancing all night, and they were right there for the coming in of the New Year!

Welcome 2014

What a great time ringing in 2014 with the grandchildren! They danced and partied till 1AM before Easton ran out of gas!

Tai on New Year's Day

He enjoyed the hats and horns too.

Christoph's New House

Christoph and Tammy built this beautiful large house mostly themselves. They are on a farm just north of Borden . On the way to NB we stopped in for a visit.

Christmas Present

We rented 5 rooms at the Tropical Inn in North Battleford for Maurice's family. We had a great time, all of us were there!

Waterslides

We all had a great time in the water. What a great way to spend time together.

Linda and Briar

Our youngest grandchild, Briar was a year old on New Year's Day.

The 7 Grandchildren

They are all ready for bed now after a day of watersliding.
