James is 2

A look back through the year =)

I had a hard time picking a few pictures (obviously) ;-) James has changed so much this past year, from a baby into a little boy!  But, yes, I still have the privilege of calling him my baby, cause he is =)
Happy 2nd Birthday James! xoxoxo

Horses

This is often what happens if I leave a laundry basket unattended.  It gets confiscated and repurposed into something SOO much more fun =)  For the "horses" and the "rider"

Happy Birthday Seth!
Have a great day =)

Way Up North

 Eagle River Hockey!

 Seats inside the arena.

 Sledding time

 It's always more fun with Daddy =)

 Go Daddy go!

 Meri's turn

 Ice rink my brother shoveled...the kids had fun sliding around on it.  No ice skates for them tho

 Rides on daddy--they always tell him when he gets home at night, "Daddy, I want to go on your head" =)

 Jake was thrilled to get a chance to be goalie in their hockey game!

 James wanted to play too

 Thanks to Grampa Rowe & Uncle David for hours (seriously!) of hockey fun with Jake

...and the girls got to join in for a while too =)

 I went for a walk with James on the ice.  He loved being pulled on his sled. (and waited patiently while mom took a bunch of pictures ;-)

 Bday party for James who is almost 2!  (2 more weeks)

 New Years Eve activities for the girls

and games for the rest of us!
We had a super fun New Years Eve weekend!  We were bummed because we were sick the weekend before when my sisters & families were up there.  But, we were glad we all felt well enough to make it for New Years!
As always, it went way too fast!  We packed in as much fun into 2 days as we could =)

Happy Birthday TANYA!

Have a great day =)
