The kids are getting things all ready for the school Christmas concert - practising plays, they're very excited. The concert is next week, the 17th. Then they have their last day (and Josh's!) on the 18th and we're off for a couple weeks. They'll have their Christmas parties and whatnot that last day. Isaac even gets his own party at nursery school, though his is on the 16th - the last nursery school day before break.
Josh's aunt came to stay with the kids yesterday so that Josh and I could go into Winnipeg and do some Christmas shopping. We ended up getting almost everything we were looking for and are pretty much done shopping for the kids. The few things we have left to get - a couple stocking stuffers, and a couple gifts for the Neufelds still - we can get in Brandon. Hopefully we'll be able to finish up completely this weekend! We're debating only doing stockings for each other for Christmas morning, well that and letting the kids pick one thing for each of us, and then getting a couple things that we need (like a new DVD player) after Christmas when boxing day sales start. But I'd like to put something under the tree for Josh - we'll see.
We are w.a.y behind on pictures, I know. Josh and Paul have been busy hunting every weekend they could (got 2 deer between them) and I have no clue how to do his pictures up. So there's still lots from October (Zech's birthday and halloween) and from November (Ruth's birthday supper) to get online. We'll get there.
For now, I took a few pictures of our yard this morning - we have SNOW now. We went to bed on Nov 30 with grass. Nothing more. Woke up Dec 1 to a dumping of snow - welcome winter, I guess!

the back yard - the kids have been playing out there!
