Dinner and a Movie

At our house.  An eternity.   An everloving eon.

 

(Craptacular audio... but you get the gist.)

Movie Date

Beauty and The Beast  in 3D with Hanna - I love this photo!  They look so grown up!  I can see them at the movies in 15 years too (sans mommies, of course)!  Holy Exclamation Marks!

Brrrrr

I'm a bit of a lot of a wuss when it comes to winter weather... no desire whatsoever to frolic in snow (if 30 somethings can even "frolic"), can't stand the synthetics that warm clothes are made of (fine hair+dry air+synthetics = a flucking annoying halo of floating hair) and I don't need to SEE my breath to confirm it's still there - so really... no use for winter at all. 

So Saturday, we sat inside and made our own fun... which included a "fort" of Shae's design.  It was more of a pillow and blanket nest, that Shae surrounded with anything at all she could find on the first floor of the house.  Warm and cozy, and accompanied by Winnie the Pooh on the computer.

Januar....blah.

Nope!  I did NOT die!  I am succumbing (totally off topic - but isn't "succumbing" the most awkward word ever?) to the January blahs.  Seriously... January is like nipple hair on women - NO PURPOSE.  None.  It's just irritating.  Something you deal with.  January.  Blah.

Anyway.  Happy 2012!

Shae and I spent Christmas at my parents where we tobogganed and slid and played board games and dressup and oh, ya - Santa came.  We were so lucky to have Dylan and Uncle Shane with us all Christmas morning too!

Then we hit the road and spent a few days in Ottawa with friends and family.  We went to the AMAZING little hobby farm for breakfast one morning with Jan, Cooper and Jack.  Had lunch at the new giant Ikea with a pileup of Sedore ladies!  We also got to have breakfast another morning with Yetta, Danielle and Sarah.  We just love Ottawa!  It was an amazing holiday, and I feel blessed to have seen so many people that I love. 

Although I took 348975843975 photos and videos... about 10 are in focus.  So, I'm posting 30, because it amuses me to post so many terrible photos.  Here ya go:

Sneaking in this one - heaven - Baileys and ice with chocolate milk... as I hike through the woods.
