Christmas in Canada - Part 2



It snowed at least a little bit every day we were up there.

On Thursday, we went to go see Mark's grandma.  I love this picture how he and Marcus are smiling so cute and Mark's Mom & Beppe are smiling at them.  Adorable!

She was in a good mood and overall, doing pretty well.
When we returned from Beppe's, we all had a nap.  Even this cutie from next door.

Thursday night we went to the Schuurman family get-together and got to meet the newest baby of the family: Levi Jon Bos.



Even with multiple families missing this year, it was large crowd and a great time was had by all.  Marcus is in the front center, big smiling on Grandpa's knee.

Since the gals next door were sick, the boys got lots of time to play together.

Anticipating a catch from Grandpa.

Walking through the flowers at the greenhouses.

Erica was sweet enough to hold him up and let him pull the string that released the water and filled the pails.

Sweetness

Why ride when you can push?

Learning how to use a shovel in the snow.

Trying to shovel a path back to the front door.

Finally feeling good enough to get some fresh air. :)


I made snow cream for the kids for the first time ever.  I LOVED it - they didn't care for it. Haha.

Mark took the two older kids on a ride through the field

I don't know what you call these things they were riding, but they were clever because they could steer which way to go.
Mark even pulled them all over the yard.

Playing in the greenhouses after seeing the cows across the street.



On the day we left, we were dumped on with more snow.  Greg brought the tractor over and scraped both driveways.

As soon as Marcus got out of the shower, he stood in the window and watched.

Precious cousins
This reminds me so much of last year's Christmas photo.  Marcus was around the same age as Alyssa and just like he did last year, she wasn't having it at all.  At least we have ONE picture of them all together.

Finally home, in our driveway.  His bunny was our saving grace. :)
