100 Days of School

Tyler was off sick for about 2 weeks, and one of his projects when he was at home was to make something to celebrate a 100 days of school.

Not sure he made the most effort, but at least we had something on the day.

Cody and Tyler enjoy their Kumon spoils

Over the winter break, the Kumon school offered an incentive to the kids to complete their homework.  The prize was a gift card for Dairy Queen, and this week we got a chance to go there after Cody had his swim team and get a hot dog and ice cream.

Here they are enjoying their prize.

Hot dogs and chips

Plain and chocolate ice cream

Cody drives up front today

We had to move a bunch of appliances today, so we went off to Home Depot, rented a truck and then with Damith's help moved a couple of fridges, dishwasher and an oven.

Cody enjoyed riding up front, but got a little nervous when I was braking.

Ready to load up the truck

Happy New Year 2015

Happy New Year from the Millsers

We had opted for a quiet affair to welcome the New Year this year. We went to get some Indian food with the kids. After that, i went to Halden's house for a quick gathering. Tyler, surprisingly, wanted to come with me. He had brought down the average age for the room but quite a big number!!!

Tyler spend most of his time at Halden's house chatting with Halden and swinging on his living room swing!!

We left after a couple of hours to make it home by midnight to bring in the New Year with Alan and Cody. The kids were pretty tired but managed to hold on till 12 o'clock.

We watched the ball fall and toasted the New Year with coke and fanta! I'm sure all of us were thinking "when can i go to bed?"!!!

Toast to welcome 2015

And here's the living room swing that Tyler was preoccupied with:

First Ski outing for 2015 season

Tyler and I decided to finally do our first ski outing for the season. Due to a late start, we went to Eldora. It had been snowing for days, so Eldora had plenty of snow.

But we found the runs to be quite short and it was snowing that day. So, after about 2 hours, we called it quits and went to get some yummy German food to feed our hungry stomachs(OK, my hungry stomach!)

Tyler still remembers how to ski though i think he needs some work on his technique. I'm becoming more conservative in my old age so, i'm sure Tyler is going to find me a boring skiing partner very soon!!

Ox tail soup.. mmmmm

Tyler still remembers his love for schnitzel
