Snow Day

The boys got their first Snow Day this year.  It is really unusual to shut the schools down, but we had a foot of snow in a short period of time and so we got a text this morning telling us the schools were shut for the day.

The boys spent the morning playing iPad and the afternoon making igloos.

Even the deer were out in the snow

Tyler completes his gingerbread man

Tyler is suddenly the king of gingerbread and wants to decorate at any opportunity. We were invited to the markers for Pizza and gingerbread making and although Cody wasn't particularly interested, Tyler was more than happy to decorate.

Halfway through?

Letters from Santa

The boys went to the mailbox today, and they each got a letter from Santa in reply to the ones they sent.

Here they are with their letters.

Cody and the family

Cody had his family pot luck and sing along at Hulstrom this week.  The kids did a picture of their family as the backdrop.  Here is Cody's version of the Millser family. Not sure why Siew Gin had a space helmet on!

Pretty good proportions!

Christmas Decorations

The boys have been asking for a week to put up the decorations, and today we finally got around to decorating the tree.  They enjoyed looking at the old ornaments we had, and were super excited about finishing it off. There main concern is how Santa will deliver the presents now we don't have a chimney.

Nearly finished

Decorations complete

Santa Wishlist

The boys have been naughty and nice this year, so hopefully Santa will focus on the nice part and deliver them what they asked for!

They have many items on their list..

Cody gets ready to make his own presents!

Cody and Alan complete global 5k

This Sunday when Tyler and Siew Gin went skiing, Cody and I competed in the runkeeper global 5k. They asked everyone who used their app to run a 5k, and they would give us lots of cool data about who ran, from where and so on.

Here are some pictures and results.

Ready for our run on a cold morning

Luckily not all runners in the same place, bolder Boulder is around 50,000!

Just over 5k for our round trip..
