My Handsome Hockey Player and Coach

Here are the 2012/13 Editions of Riley's hockey photos.  Because Clay is his assistant coach, we also got photos with Clay and Riley together.  

Christmas at the Farm 2012

Last year, when my Mom told me that there could be three new babies in her house for Christmas 2012, I said no way.  Well, I was wrong.  We headed from the Lake to the Farm on Christmas day to spend it with my family.  We certainly had some busy Moms and happy cousins.  We got to spend special time with my Grandparents.  Clay and Greg and the kids attempted to build a snow fort, but the snow was like sugar, so that didn't work so well.  But, they made a bit of a shell scrape and started a fire to keep toasty.  Other than that, we played cards, watched junior hockey and visited.  Here are the photos of our trip to the farm.

Christmas at the Lake 2012

Here are our photos of our Christmas at the Lake.  We had a wonderful time and got to see so much of our family.  We saw all of Uncle Elwood's family and all of Auntie Elsie's family as well as Uncle Kenny, Sydney and Shannon.  The kids went skating on Pat Falloon's ice pad and there were even CBC TV cameras out there one day doing a news report on rural Manitoba life, featuring Pat Falloon and his daughter.  So, you may even see our kids on TV someday as well as Beckett and Zach.  We were also very blessed to spend Christmas Eve with Great Grandma Kotzer for the second year in a row!  We had such a wonderful visit with her.

The Ultimate Christmas gift for Clay

On Dec 18th, the kids and I hosted some friends over at our place for some pre-Christmas cheer. My ulterior motive for the visit was to give Clay his Christmas present. Of course, it was a little early but considering the size and shape of it, there was no way I could sneak it home without him noticing and knowing what it was. In October, I hatched out a plan with our ski buddy, Fred, to buy his ski for Clay. It's only three years old and a higher caliber than his old one. Here are some photos of a very surprized and happy Clay.
