Over the Holidays

We started off the season with heading downtown to the Christmas light up, then to the Church for the Christmas party. 

The huge bonfire for marshmallow roasting is always a favorite. 

Ryan and I headed to the temple for the weekend and were caught in a snowstorm on the way home. We were FORCED to check into the Harrison Hot Springs Resort. This is what our room exited on to... 

Edwin's Christmas concert... (post concert picture)

We skipped out on Joseph's Christmas Concert and took him skiing instead. He was not disappointed. 

Greta completed another semester of ballet. 

We all headed out to Salmon Arm to visit Aunties Ardie and Sarah. They had the best sledding hill in their backyard. 

Greta was privileged to play Mary this year. 

Maria's Christmas Eve birthday dinner was a fondue at our place. 

We had Grandma and Grandpa Burnham, Maria, Ardie and Sarah join us for Christmas this year. 

Christmas dinner was delicious! James and I had our 'famous' turkey cook off. I won of course... just don't ask him the results. :)

Boxing Day was spent at the skating rink. 

Auntie Jen saved mom and dad's marriage by providing another ipad for them. ;)

More time was spent on the ski hill...

Greta was so excited to have a half sleep over at her cousins house while we were out late for New Years. 

November babies!

In November we celebrated Edwin's 8th birthday and Ryan's 34th birthday. 

Here are some of my favorite photo memories of them this past year. 

Family Photo Shoot

I coerced my family into taking pictures this year. We picked the boys up right after school and drove around "our" lake looking for a good place for our photo shoot. 

This is the result. No filters, no photoshopping, no cropping, no professional photographer.... just us. Oh and the old man that came out of his mobile home to take a picture of all of us.
